Abstract :
This paper proposes an antenna selection method for a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) receiver. The proposed method selects a proper combination of polarization antenna elements at receive antenna branches to achieve lower bit error rate (BER) performance. Using the channel impulse responses measured in an indoor environment, numerical results show that the proposed selection method works effectively for the realistic channel and promises a great deal of decrease in computational complexity.
