%X The challenge of a full-duplex single-channel system is the method to transmit and receive signals simultaneously at the same time and on the same frequency. Consequently, a critical issue involved in such an operation is the resulting self-interference. Moreover, for MIMO system, the full-duplex single-channel system is subjected to the very strong self-interference signals due to multiple transmitting and receiving antennas. So far in the pieces of literature, there have not been any suitable techniques presented to reduce the self-interference for full-duplex single-channel MIMO systems. This paper initially proposes the method to cancel the self-interference by utilizing the mutual-coupling model for self-interference cancellation. The interference can be eliminated by using a preknown interference, that is, the mutual-coupling signals. The results indicate that the channel capacity performance of the proposed technique can significantly be improved due to the reduction of the self-interference power. The measurement results indicate that the proposed MIMO system can suppress the self-interference and mutual-interference signals with the reduction of 31£¿dB received power. 1. Introduction Nowadays, multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) system is the promising technology for the next generation of wireless communication systems as MIMO system can provide a wide coverage area, a high spectral efficiency, and an increased system capacity. The MIMO system employs the multiple antennas to transmit signals on the same frequency which cause the strong interference signals at the receiving antennas on the same side. These interferences are more pronounced when operating the full-duplex single-channel MIMO system. The full-duplex single-channel system is one of the most interesting technologies for future wireless communications because it can offer double throughput from any conventional system without paying any expenses of spectrum. This is because the system is able to receive and transmit simultaneously within a single channel. In the literature, the problem of full-duplex interference has been addressed on the specific configuration of MIMO relay nodes. The self-interference cancellation is introduced to be used at only relaying node [1¨C3]. So far there have not been any techniques proposed for source or destination. In this light, the authors propose the new technique to suppress the self-interference for full-duplex single-channel MIMO systems. From the literature on RF interference cancellation, the work in [4¨C9] presents a full-duplex wireless
