Study and Performance Comparison of Various MIMO Antenna Configurations Under Rayleigh Fading Channel

Abstract

Wireless communications have been captivated by MIMO technology because it provides significant increases in data throughput and link quality without requiring additional transmission bandwidth or power. Greater spectral efficiency (more bits per second per hertz of bandwidth) and enhanced reliability or link diversity allow it to do this (lessen fading). These characteristics have made MIMO a crucial component of practically all wireless communication systems. The present paper deals with the performance and capacity comparison of all MIMO configurations. On the basis of simulation results it is established that the MIMO system outperform all the existing antenna configurations.
