Advanced Antenna Systems,Transmit diversity and Beamforming in Wimax

Advanced Antenna Systems,Transmit diversity and Beamforming in Wimax Advanced Antenna Systems The WiMAX standard provides extensive support for implementing advanced  multiantenna solutions to improve system performance. Significant gains in overall system capacity and spectral efficiency can be achieved by deploying the optional advanced antenna systems (AAS) defined in WiMAX. AAS includes support for a variety … Read more

How Open-Loop Transmit Diversity in Wimax?

Transmit spatial diversity is a newer phenomenon than receive diversity and has become widely implemented only in the early 2000s. Because the signals sent from different transmit antennas interfere with one another, processing is required at both the transmitter and the receiver in order to achieve diversity while removing or at least attenuating the spatial … Read more

CDMA Spatial Diversity

Diversity Reception: Multiple Antennas at Base Station Each Antenna is Affected by Multipath Differently Due to Their Different Location Allows Selection of the Signal Least Affected by Multipath Fading If Diversity Antennas are Good, Why Not Use Base Stations as a Diversity Network? – Soft Handoff The concept of diversity reception has been well known … Read more

Spatial Multiplexing and Receiver Gains in Wimax

Spatial Multiplexing In a multipath environment, the data rate increase due to MIMO is equal to the number of MIMO antennas. Rather than to transmit the same bit of more than two antennas, the Spatial Multiplexing method sends a data bit from the first antenna, and another bit of the second antenna at the same … Read more

Types of Diversity Space, Time, Spatial, Frequency and Polarization

We know that we normally have several independent paths from TX to Rx of different lengths, these are affected and delayed differently, Signals that start out together at the transmitter will be separated in time when they reach the receiver Diversity doesn’t work with Line of Sight, This is exploiting Multipath rather than fighting it … Read more
