Six-port antennas for experimental verification of six degrees-of-freedom in wireless channels
In 2001, a paper published in Nature by Andrews et al postulated the use of six co-located antennas, namely three electric and three magnetic dipoles, to achieve up to a six-fold capacity increase in wireless channels, relative to that of a single antenna. In other words, six degrees of freedom (DOFs) can be supported in a wireless channel with co-located six-port transmit and receive antenna arra
