Abstract

The nonlinearity of High Power Amplifiers (HPAs) has crucial effects on the performance of Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO). This paper analyzes a theoretical characterization of nonlinear distortion effects introduced HPA which is modeled as a nonlinear polynomial model in MIMO Output Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) systems accompanied with Minimum Mean Square Error (MMSE) receiver. The aim of this work is to study the effect of nonlinearity on the capacity of systems and is to present an iterative estimation and compensation of the nonlinear distortion due to HPA in MIMO OFDM systems under Rayleigh fading channel. The numerical performance evaluation shows that the proposed method of compensation reduces significantly BER of MIMO OFDM systems.
