Analysis of MIMO Performance for 5G

Abstract

MIMO stands for multiple input multiple output, is considered as one of the pillars for the cellular communication networks. In MIMO technology, multiple antennas are placed at both transmitter and receiver. The primary goal of the MIMO is to enhance the capacity, coverage and throughput of the wireless communication systems. MIMO also controls the overall antenna pattern for interference reduction. For its ability to deliver a larger spectral efficiency, MIMO is considered as key technology for cellular networks. Constructing antenna arrays at both transmitter and receiver side will also improve the directivity, thereby the long distance communication is possible. In this work, 2x2, a 4x4bandb8x8 MIMO configuration was implemented. Simulations are carried out using Keysights’s SYSTEM VUE which is system level designing tool. Preceding is done using MATLAB. Quality of service (QoS) parameter such as Bit error rate (BER) is analyzed for each case.
