Abstract:

The use of multiple antennas for diversity, including MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) is one of the most promising wireless technologies for broadband communication applications. This antenna system is a vital study in today’s wireless communication system especially when the signal propagates through some corrupted environments. In our paper new techniques of improving bit error ratio and signal to noise ratio are discussed.Intersymbol interference is a major limitation of wireless communications. It degrades the performance significantly if the delay spread is comparable or higher than the symbol duration. To remove ISI, equalization needs to be included at the receiver end. The most popular equalization algorithms are zero forcing (ZF) equalizer and minimum mean square (MMSE) equalizerand maximum ratio combining equalizer.

Keywords:

MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple output), MMSE (Minimum Mean Square Error), MRC (Maximal Ratio Combining), ZF (Zero Forcing) ISI (Inter Symbol Interference), SNR (Signal to Noise Ratio), BER (Bit Error Ratio).
