Abstract

This paper describes a new prefilter design method for MIMO communication channels with equalizers. The prefilter is designed in the frequency domain to make the channel easier to equalize. We apply the singular value decomposition (SVD) of the channel frequency response to design the prefilter. The new prefilter achieves a performance improvement at high signal to noise ratio (SNR) while keeping the performance at low SNR. We also show the advantage of transmitter diversity.
