Abstract :
In this paper, a computer simulation of a MIMO system comprising phased array antennas (PAA) in all receiving branches is presented. In order to examine the system performance under relatively realistic conditions, a ray-tracing simulator was applied to generate a baseband channel impulse response matrix H. The PAA consists of L antenna elements where a variable-gained low-noise amplifier and a 360deg continuously adjustable phase shifter are inserted in each antenna element and an adder for the array output is connected into the RF front-end of each receive branch. The phase shifters are adaptively controlled to increase the total channel capacity of MIMO systems.
