MIMO-OFDM is the foundation for more advanced wireless local area network (Wireless LAN) and mobile broadband network standards because it achieves the greatest spectral efficiency and, delivers the highest capacity, data throughput and higher data rates. But, as the environment is wireless, the information being sent in such systems causes attenuation, path dispersion and lSI (Inter Symbol Interference). The lSI causes Bit Error Rate and degrades the performance of the system. The literature gives linear and nonlinear equalizers to overcome this lSI. The paper focus on hybridizing the results of linear and nonlinear equalizers and the use of optimal detection to minimize lSI with improved SNR and higher receiver diversity. The simulation results carried out in MA TLAB shows an improvement of BER (0. 001 at 12 dB SNR) when using the proposed equalizer compared to the existing equalizers. Thus, an enhancement in error rate performance is shown.
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.
