Abstract

In the previous chapters, it has been shown that multiple input multiple out (MIMO) systems can provide either diversity order improvement or spatial multiplexing advantages. In this chapter, the receiver front-end architectures in MIMO systems are discussed. Starting with the traditional single input single output (SISO) receiver front-ends, their extensions are presented for MIMO applications. Moreover, the capacity reduction due to a noisy front-end and radio frequency interference are examined. In addition, a MIMO testbed realization technique is presented using a MIMO testbed; and, the more advanced MIMO transceiver implementation techniques are described under the commercial MIMO transceivers section.
