Abstract

Several efforts are currently underway in investigating multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) communication systems. MIMO technology promises high data rate wireless communications and/or the potentiality of exploiting transmit and receive diversity schemes. For WLAN (wireless local area networks) scenarios most investigations focus on OFDM (orthogonal frequency division multiplexing) transmission. In this paper we discuss multiple antenna diversity and spatial multiplexing schemes for SC/FDE (single carrier transmission with frequency domain equalization), a single carrier technology closely related to OFDM due to its frequency domain signal processing characteristics. Equalizer structures are derived and analyzed, and their performance is demonstrated using BER-simulations
