Abstract :
In this paper we investigate some properties of the union bound for a basic MIMO system, assuming uncoded QAM transmission, uncorrelated Rayleigh fading, and maximum likelihood detection. The presented union bound results cover several choices of the number of transmitting and receiving antennas (up to 16). It is also illustrated how the pair-wise error probability approaches the Q( )-function as the number of receiving antennas increases
