Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) techniques allow remarkable improvements in the reliability and/or transmission rate of wireless communication systems. However, there are several major challenges towards the implementation of conventional MIMO concept in terminals with size, cost, and power constraints. First of all, insufficient space impedes the design of efficient and decorrelated MIMO...

This paper shows how the application of MIMO (multiple-input multiple-output) communication methods can enhance telemetry systems. The main contribution of MIMO to the communication system is improving spectral efficiency by exploiting spatial diversity of multiple antennas. For communications using high order QAM modulated signals, a blind MIMO equalizer is proposed in earlier works. In this w...

We investigate point-to-point transmission over dispersive multiple-input/multiple-output channels (MIMO ISI channels). MIMO orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing decomposes the frequency-selective channel into a set of independent flat-fading MIMO channels. Remaining spatial interference has to be treated in each carrier individually by means of MIMO equalization/precoding. We combine sev...
