Abstract

One of the techniques to achieve the different challenges in wireless communication systems is MIMO systems which ensure a wide coverage, high throughput and reliable services by enabling spatial dimension and by considering multiple numbers of transmitter and receiver antennas. In this article, the performance of ML and MMSE equalizers has been compared in terms of BER in Frequency selective and flat fading channels. The performance of MMSE is worst in frequency selective channel as compared to others. It has been concluded that the performance of ML is better among these two equalizers, specifically in case of Binary Phase shift Keying.
