Abstract

This paper investigates the performance of multiple- input multiple-output (MIMO) multichannel beamforming systems in interference-limited Ricean fading channels. We derive new expressions for the exact symbol error rate, as well as the diversity order and array gain. Our results are based on new exact closed-form expressions which we derive for the marginal ordered eigenvalue distributions of finite-dimensional complex noncentral F-distributed random matrices. Numerical results are presented to validate the theoretical analysis.
