Phased-multiple-input multiple-output (phased-MIMO) radar using one-dimensional transmit arrays has been thoroughly investigated in the literature. In this paper, we consider two-dimensional phased-MIMO radar array which is called planar-phased-MIMO radar. This new technique aggregates the advantages of the linear-phased-MIMO radar without sacrificing either the main advantage of the planar-pha...

Multiple input multiple output (MIMO) systems using multiple transmit and receive antennas are widely recognized as the vital breakthrough that will allow future wireless systems to achieve higher data rates with limited bandwidth and power resources. The capacity of MIMO systems depends strongly on whether the channel state information (CSI) is available at the transmitter or not. The main aim...

Imperfect channel state information degrades the performance of multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) communications; its effects on single-user (SU) and multiuser (MU) MIMO transmissions are quite different. In particular, MU-MIMO suffers from residual interuser interference due to imperfect channel state information while SU-MIMO only suffers from a power loss. This paper compares the through...

In this paper, we introduce the generalization of the concept of crystallized rate regions for MIMO-OFDM transmission. The extension from the OFDM and MIMO case to MIMO-OFDM scenario of the time-sharing convex hull of achievable rates is discussed and a new definition of the cost function for the rate region game is derived. Based on the new game definition, the simulation results for the MIMO-...

Adaptive Modulation and Coding (AMC) is combined with Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) multiplexing to improve the throughput performance of AMC. In addition, Selection Transmit Diversity (STD) is considered in MIMO multiplexing to achieve higher diversity gain. AMC-STD-MIMO multiplexing system is proposed. STD in our simulation selects 2 transmission antennas from 4 antennas and AMC-MIMO ...

This paper describes an outdoor MIMO measurement campaign conducted in the 2GHz band employing a sounding bandwidth of 20MHz. The study aimed to compare the MIMO performance of two prototype devices with a reference dipole antenna module. The results obtained reveal a systematic blocking of one of the PDA antenna ports with the user’s thumb alongside a significant reduction in the available MIM...

We implemented an RF-adaptive array antenna (RF-AAA) on a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) receiver using Alamouti’s scheme. A new criterion maximizing the squared Frobenius norm of the MIMO channel matrix is proposed for controlling the RF-AAA. Computer simulation showed that a 2× 2 MIMO system with a 2-element RF-AAA implemented using Alamouti’s scheme provided an array and a greater div...

In this paper, we quantify performance gain achieved if SISO system is replaced with 4x4 MIMO in WLAN setting compatible with IEEE 802.11n standard. We compare throughput and power savings in MIMO by taking field measurements at various indoor locations. Measurements are validated with simulations that include different IEEE TGn channel models. For comparison between MIMO and SISO, we select th...

SUMMARY This paper reviews recently published results on multiple input multiple output (MIMO) channel modeling. Both nar-rowband and wideband models are considered. We distinguish between two main approaches to MIMO channel modeling, namely, physically based and non-physically based modeling. The non-physical models primarily rely on the statistical characteristics of the MIMO channels obtaine...
