    Abstract: In the case that several transmitting elements (e.g., a Tx chain) are simultaneously impaired, at least two different layouts are possible: the defected Tx chains are randomly scattered around the array; or, the defected Tx chains are aligned vertically on a random column (for 12 and 24 defected Tx chains—1 and 2 such columns are randomly chosen, respectively). It can be seen that the throughput is worse when the defected Tx chains are aligned in a column rather than randomly scattered, unless the defective Tx chains are known, in which case it is the opposite. This is because disabling an entire column has the most significant effect on the spatial null steering. When defected Tx chains are known the performance of all layouts are almost the same, though column yields slightly better results due to the antenna subarrays (2 vertical antennas have the same feed, therefore we lose less degrees of freedom).
