Evaluation of Mimo System Capacity Over Rayleigh Fading Channel

High transmission data rate, spectral efficiency and reliability are essential for future wireless communications systems. MIMO (multi-input multi-output) diversity technique is a band width efficient system achieving high data transmission which eventually establishing a high capacity communication system. Without needing to increase the transmitted power or the channel bandwidth, gain in capacity can be considerably improved by varying the number of antennas on both sides. Correlated and uncorrelated channels MIMO system was considered in this paper for different number of antennas and different SNR over Rayleigh fading channel. At the transmitter both CSI(channel state information) technique and Water filling power allocation principle was also considered in this paper.
