Abstract :
Performance Analysis of Transmit Beamforming Using the theory of random matrices, a performance analysis is given for uncoded binary transmission over multiple-input multiple-output channels, under the assumption that transmitter beamforming is used. In particular, exact finite antenna expressions are found for the average bit-error rate (in the case of ergodic channels) for both noncoherent and coherent detection. Expressions for the outage probability (in the case of quasi-static channels) are also given.
