Comparative Performance of Point-to-Point Multiple Input Multiple Output System under Weibull and Rayleigh Fading Channels

Abstract

Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) technologies use multiple antennas at the sender and the receiver to get the high data rate that the next-generation communication system needs. This paper compares MIMO systems using the Quadrature Phase Shift Keying (QPSK) modulation scheme for two-channel distributions of Rayleigh and Weibull types. The performance of the work is far with the Minimum Mean Square Equalizer (MMSE) in terms of Bit Error Rate (BER) for various antenna number situations on the transmitter and receiver sides. The MIMO module is carried out using MATLAB code. The channel noise will be a signal of random noise that is generated. To mitigate the impact of inter-channel interference, the MMSE approach employs inverse filtering at the receiver, and BER will be calculated. According to simulation results, the system's performance is primarily influenced by the number of antennas; it decreased as the number of antennas increased, and the BER of the Weibull channel decreased as the two-parameter value increased
