ESPAR(Electronically Steerable Parasitic Array Radiator) antenna is the technique for overcoming the problems of space limitation and energy efficiency due to the multiple RF-chain. Conventional MIMO system with multiple antenna requires a large number of RF-chain for transmitting the multiple data because it transmits the data in proportion to the number of antenna. Beamspace MIMO system using the ESPAR antenna which has single RF-chain was proposed for solving the problems caused by using the multiple antenna and RF-chain. In this paper, therefore we propose 2x2 beamspace MIMO system using the 16, 64-QAM modulation and evaluate the performance of this system to reveal that it is possible that beamspace MIMO system can use not only PSK modulation but also QAM modulation. We confirm that QAM symbol can be generated by adjusting reactance of parasitic elements and making reactance set and also we confirm that performance of beamspace MIMO system is similar to the conventional MIMO system by transmitting the QAM symbol made by reactance set through the simulation.

This paper proposes a hybrid symbol offset estimation algorithm for MIMO(Multiple Input Multiple Output) OFDM system. As MIMO OFDM systems are multiple transmitter and receiver antenna systems, apart from SISO(Single Input Single Output) system, it is possible to use several combining techniques which are used in multiple receive antenna system. In this paper, we propose hybrid symbol offset estimation algorithms using combining techniques in multiple receive antenna systems, simulate and show the performances in MIMO system environments. The proposed equal gain combining correlation algorithm has better performance 1.8 times in searching the ideal symbol offset rather than the conventional early symbol offset algorithm in severe ISI channel.

In this paper, we consider designing a multi-input multi-output (MIMO) overlay system for fixed MIMO wireless link, where a frequency flat narrowband channel is shared by multiple transmitter and receiver pairs. Assuming the perfect knowledge of the second-order statistics of the received legacy signals and the composite channels from the overlay transmitter to the legacy receivers, the jointly optimal linear precoder and decoder matrices of the MIMO overlay system is derived to minimize the total mean squared error (MSE) of the data symbol vector, subject to total average transmission power and zero interference induced to legacy MIMO systems already existing in the frequency band of interest. Furthermore, the necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of the optimal solution is also derived.

In this paper, we introduce the combination of OFDM(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) and MIMO(Multiple-Input Multiple-Output) technology, and explain that this combination seems to be very preferable when designing very high-rate wireless mobile systems. The application of OFDM, with the block diagrams of an OFDM modulator and demodulator and a MIMO-OFDM system, are described. The several diversities are studied at the receiver, analyzed the performances of diversity in OFDM-MIMO system and simulated results.

In this paper, we extend SVR-MMSE detection scheme which is proposed in MIMO system to MIMO-OFDM system, and evaluate performance of the system in frequency selective fading channel. First of all, we explain about typical MIMO-OFDM system and detection scheme of constant modulus signals in this system. And compare proposed SVR-MMSE with Zero Forcing, Minimum Mean Square Error which is conventional detection scheme. we identify that the performance of the proposed system is shown different by varying doppler frequency in frequency selective fading channel using jakes channel model. The result of detection performance by the proposed SVR-MMSE in this simulation, it shows that proposed algorithm have a good performance in MIMO-OFDM systems.

Conventional MIMO system is required to a number of RF chains as much as a number of antennas. If the number of antennas increased then the number of RF chains increased. Therefore, it is difficult to apply conventional MIMO system to mobile terminals with limited power. In this paper, we propose a TDM(time division multiplexing)-based single RF chain MIMO system. The outcome shows that performance of the proposed system is similar to conventional MIMO system using multiple RF chains when STO is corrected by phase angle estimation and the synchronizing signal of received signal. Therefore, it is possible to implement the MIMO-OFDM system of low power and complexity through a single RF chain.

Recently, researches about MIMO(Multi-Input Multi-Output) system are being studied actively due to high-capacity and high-speed communication. However, MIMO system has many RF(Radio Frequency) chains according to many array antennas. So, MIMO system has disadvantages such as high-complexity and high-power-consumption. Also, it is impossible to miniaturize the antenna dimension. In order to solve these problems, beamspace MIMO system using ESPAR(Electronically Steerable Parasitic Array Radiator) antenna was proposed. It is possible to reduce the complexity and the power-consumption, because it has single RF chain by using one active antenna and several parasitic elements. In this paper, in order to improve the security, for the first time, chaos communication algorithm is applied to QPSK modulated beamspace MIMO system using ESPAR antenna. We define as chaos QPSK beamspace MIMO system, and evaluate the SER performance. Also, we confirm that QPSK symbols can be made by changing the reactance values of parasitic elements, and evaluate the SER performance of this system.

In this paper, a selective multiple-input multiple-output(MIMO) transmission scheme is proposed in dual-hop MIMO relaying systems, in which orthogonal space-time block code(OSTBC) transmission and transmit antenna selection(TxAS) transmission are selectively used. Assuming independent Rayleigh fading channels, the outage probability is analyzed for a decode-and-forward(DF) relaying system using the selective MIMO transmission scheme. Also, through numerical investigation, the outage performance for the DF relaying system using the selective MIMO transmission scheme is compared with that for the conventional DF relaying system using OSTBC or TxAS. Moreover, from the performance comparison, it is shown that the proposed scheme can reduce the system overhead without outage performance degradation.

In this paper, the new technique combining beamforming with space-time coding is proposed for an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing(OFDM) system with multi-input multi-output(MIMO). When MIMO-OFDM system is employing Nt(the number of transmitterantenna) beamfomers and one S-T decoder at Nr receiver antennas, Nt signals removed CCI are outputted at the beamformer and then diversity gain can be got through space-time decoding. As the proposed technique can reduce cochannel interference and get diversity gain in the multi-user environment, the performance of MIMO-OFDM system is very improved. BER performance improvement and convergence behavior of the proposed approach are investigated through computer simulation by applying it to MIMO-OFDM system in the multi-user environment.

Generally, multi-path is viewed as an undesirable feature of wireless communications. Therefore, diversity reception and adaptive array schemes are proposed to mitigate its effects. Recently, to increase the spectrum efficiency and the link reliability, multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) scheme is devised to exploit multi-path in a scattering wireless channel. In this paper, we have evaluated the channel capacity of MIMO Multi-Carrier CDMA system in path correlation fading channel. And, the channel capacity of MIMO system is compared with single-input single-output (SISO) system. From the results, the MIMO multi-carrier CDMA system with path correlation yields better performance with respect to channel capacity than a SISO system.
