Abstract
The minimum mean square error (MMSE) multiple antenna transmission scheme for a code division multiple access (CDMA) system was recently developed by Choi and Perreau [1]. In this paper, we first show that the zero-forcing (ZF) transmit beamformer for multiple antenna CDMA system has the same form as the MMSE beamformer given by Choi and Perreau. We then develop an analytical method to obtain a closed-form expression of the bit error rate (BER) of the ZF transmit beamformer when there are channel estimation errors. The analytical and simulation results show good agreement, and confirm the importance of accurate channel state information (CSI) at the transmitter when using the ZF transmit beamformer.
