... power interferingdue to shadowing effects In this section, we investigate the impact of nonequal in- terfering powers caused by shadowing on the optimal an-tenna spacings. This amounts to include ... Gaussian noise. In Figure 1, the first ring of interference is denoted by shadedcells. The problem we tackle is that of finding the antennaspacings in vector Δ= [Δ12Δ23]T(as shown in the ... ar-ray, optimizing the antenna spacings leads to a performancegain of approximately 2.5 bit/s/Hz.Let us now turn to the solution of Problem 2 (9).
