Analysis and Simulation of Disadvantaged Receivers for Multiple-Input Multiple-Output Communications Systems

Abstract

This thesis investigates the simulation performance of Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) communication systems. Uncoded narrowband and wideband MIMO systems are presented and simulated. The system is further refined with the addition of Space-Time Codes (STC) and Channel State Information at the Transmitter (CSIT). A disadvantaged receiver is subsequently introduced to the system lacking the optimization enjoyed by the native receiver. Simulation and analysis was conducted with multiple modulation schemes and antenna configurations. Rayleigh and Rician fading models are developed and simulated as the wireless channel. Receiver performance results based on MATLAB simulation are compared and presented.
