Abstract
Combination of Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) and Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) is implemented to offer a simple and high performance system as to increase channel capacity and serve high data rate. Even though the OFDMA concept is simple in its basic principle, but it suffers one of the most challenging issues, which is synchronization error that introduces the inter-symbol interference (ISI), thus degrades the signal performance. The goal of this paper is to provide a method to mitigate this ISI by employing the equalizers at the receiver end and using Space Time Frequency Block Codes (STFBC) to improve the Bit error rate (BER) performance and to achieve a maximum diversity order in MIMO-OFDMA by using simulation based on the platforms of MATLAB software As a result, the BER performance is improved when implementing equalizers at the receiver with STFBC outperforms the conventional system without equalizer with a maximum diversity order and an efficient bandwidth in the Mobile WiMAX system.
