Abstract


Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) technology has become an integral part of wireless communication systems, enabling high data rates and improved spectral efficiency. Filter bank multi-carrier (FBMC) modulation is another promising technique that offers several advantages over traditional orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) in terms of spectral efficiency and robustness to frequency-selective fading channels. In this paper, we investigate the performance of MIMO-FBMC transceivers in multi-path fading channels. We first review the basics of MIMO-FBMC systems and their advantages over traditional MIMO-OFDM systems. Then, we present a detailed analysis of the performance of MIMO-FBMC transceivers in Rayleigh and Rician fading channels, considering different antenna configurations and modulation schemes. We evaluate the performance of the MIMO-FBMC system in terms of bit error rate (BER) and channel capacity. Our simulation results show that the MIMO-FBMC system outperforms the MIMO-OFDM system in terms of BER and channel capacity, especially in highly dispersive channels. We also show that increasing the number of antennas at the transmitter and receiver improves the performance of the MIMO-FBMC system, but at the cost of increased complexity. Finally, we discuss the practical implementation issues of MIMO-FBMC systems and their potential applications in future wireless communication systems.
