System Performance of MIMO MRT/MRC System under Perfect CSI

Abstract: Multiple Input and Multiple Output (MIMO) is one of the techniques used tiimprove the system performance. In this thesis, we improve and evaluate the system performance of MIMO deploying MRT technique at the transmitter and MRCtechnique at the receiver with an assuming that the system can obtain perfect CSI.We derived expressions for outage probability and symbol error rate and simulationgraphs for SISO, SIMO, MISO, and MIMO in terms of outage probability. Our results show that the MIMO system performance is better than other configurations.We also observed that SISO have the least performance where SIMO and MISOhave same performance. The performance also increases as the number of antennasincrease in the system and it is suggested to use MIMO when performance is givehigh priority than cost.
