In this paper we discuss the design of antenna arrays to be used for multiplexing applications. In particular, we introduce a suitable performance index to analyze the effect of the antenna geometry and the distribution of users for the overall performance of Multi-User Multiple Input Multiple Output systems. By means of such performance index, antenna arrays can be designed so as to increase the number of multiplexed parallel sub-channels. Numerical results show that a proper design could allow to double the contemporary served users and the overall system throughput.
