MIMO Systems and Transmit Diversity 1 Introduction So far we have investigated the use of antenna arrays in interference cancellation and for receive diversity. This final chapter takes a broad view of the use of antenna arrays in wireless communications. In particular‚ we will investigate the capacity of systems using multiple transmit and/or multiple receive antennas. This provides a fundamental limit on the data throughput in multipleinput multiple-output (MIMO) systems. We will also develop
