A review of antennas and propagation for MIMO wireless communications (2004, background): “Recent work has suggested that in a rich multipath environment, sensing the three Cartesian vector components of the electric and magnetic fields can provide six uncorrelated signals at the receiver [125].”
MIMO over Satellite: A Review (2011, background): “Hence, the number of orthogonal polarization states is three, increasing correspondingly the number of orthogonal channels to three, a fact first highlighted in [31].”
Representation theory for high-rate multiple-antenna code design (2001, methodology): “A/D and D/A samplers operating at 200 ksamples/s with 12 bits of precision were used to modulate/demodulate and decode the signals with a computer; more details of the antenna testbed may be found in [23].”
Degrees of freedom in multiple-antenna channels: a signal space approach (2005, background): “claim of six-fold increase in degrees of freedom from polarization [29].”
