  • Abstract
    We consider linear detectors for MIMO systems, i.e., multi-antenna systems where linear equalizers are employed to remove spatial interference. We analyze the behavior of linear equalizers through outage probability. The MMSE equalizer was found to behave in unexpected ways. Contrary to the usual intuition, the performance of MMSE and zero-forcing equalizers may not coincide at high-SNR. This is especially true at low spectral efficiencies, where the MMSE equalizer may achieve full spatial diversity.
