In modern wireless communication systems, a combination of multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) system with the orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) technique can be used to achieve high data rate and &better spectral efficiency. A Channel estimation technique using pilot carriers for multiple input multiple output( MIMO) systems for a Rayleigh fading channel is proposed in this paper. The channel estimation is carried out with conventional Least Square (LS) and Minimum Mean Square (MMSE) estimation algorithms. The performance of MIMO-OFDM system is evaluated on the basis of Bit Error Rate (BER) and Mean Square Error (MSE) level.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
