In this paper, we analyze LM-MIMO (load-modulation multiple-input multiple-output) system with single RF chain. And then, we confirm that load modulation technique can support generation of high-order m-PSK modulation and m-QAM modulation in LM-MIMO system. Finally we evaluate performance of LM-MIMO system with load modulation. Conventional MIMO system requires a number of RF chains for expansion of MIMO dimension. A number of RF chains can cause various problems. On the other hand, although LM-MIMO system is expanded, LM-MIMO system requires single RF chain only. Therefore, LM-MIMO system has low-complexity and low power consumption. As results, we can confirm that load modulation of T-model can modulate high-order m-PSK and m-QAM singal. Also, we can confirm that $4{\times}4$ LM-MIMO system using load modulation has a similar performance to conventional $4{\times}4$ MIMO system.

Recently, utilization of MIMO(Multi-Input Multi-Output) system using array antennas is evaluated significantly according to the extension of high-capacity and high-speed communication services. However, MIMO system has disadvantages such as high-complexity and high-power-consumption, because RF(Radio Frequency) chain is required as antenna number, and several array antenna is used in conventional MIMO system. In order to solve these problems, research about beamspace MIMO system using ESPAR(Electronically Steerable Parasitic Array Radiator) antenna that has single RF chain by using one active antenna and several parasitic elements has been studied actively. Beamspace MIMO system using ESPAR antenna is possible to solve the problems of conventional MIMO system, because this system is composed by single RF chain. In this paper, in order to improve the system security, chaos communication algorithm that has characteristics such as non-periodic, non-predictability, easy implementation and initial condition is applied to QPSK (Quadrature Phase Shift Keying) modulated beamspace MIMO system. We design the chaos QPSK modulated beamspace MIMO system, and evaluate SER performance of this system.

The main advantage of ESPAR antenna is that ESPAR antenna requires only a single RF chain for reduction of transceiver's hardware complexity, as compared to conventional MIMO system. In conventional MIMO system, each data symbol is mapped to each antenna. But, each data symbol is mapped to each orthogonal basis pattern in ESPAR antenna system. In this paper, we design beamspace MIMO system using ESPAR antenna with single RF chain for MIMO system of low-complexity and low power consumption. And then, we analyze performance of beamspace MIMO according to each PSK modulation. Performance of beamspace MIMO system is similar to performance of conventional MIMO system. As a result of analyzing the performance of beamspace MIMO system using higher-order PSK modulation. we can confirm that performance characteristic of beamspace MIMO system with low complexity and low power consumption is similar to digital communication of signal domain.

In this paper, we propose a $M{\times}M$ beam-space multiple input multiple output (BS-MIMO) system using electronically steerable parasitic array radiator (ESPAR) antenna. Conventional MIMO method required multiple RF chains because it map the transmission signals onto multiple antennas. So, conventional MIMO system has high cost for design and high energy consumption at RF circuit. Also, It is difficult to use MIMO system in battery based mobile terminals with limited physical area. In order to solve these problems, BS-MIMO technique which map the data signal onto bases in beam space domain was proposed using ESPAR antenna with single RF chain. This paper, we design and analyze the performance of extended $M{\times}M$ BS-MIMO technique. Simulation results show that the proposed BS-MIMO system has similar BER performance compare to conventional MIMO scheme. Therefore, BS-MIMO system with single RF chain will has a low RF power consumption and low cost for RF hardware design as compared with conventional MIMO technique with multiple RF chains.

Beamspace Multiple-Input Multiple Output(MIMO) system can transmit multiple data by using Electronically Steerable Parasitic Array Radiator(ESPAR) antenna which has single Radio Frequency(RF)-chain. Beamspace MIMO system can reduce complexity of the system and size of antenna in comparison with the conventional MIMO system because of characteristic of ESPAR antenna using the single antenna and the RF-chain. Heretofore, only the research of transmitting single-carrier has been conducted by the use of beamspace MIMO system. Therefore, in this paper, we propose beamspace MIMO system based on Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing(OFDM) for transmitting the multi-carrier and analysis the performance of this system. We find a proper reactance value which has good performance because proposed system changes the performance by the reactance values of parasitic elements. and we confirm that performance of the proposed system is similar to conventional MIMO system based on OFDM.

Multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO) technique is used in many communication fields in order to increase the channel capacity. However, this MIMO system has difficulty of miniaturization of antenna size due to the multiple RF chains Also, multiple RF chain raises some problems which increase power consumption at RF circuit and degrade the system performance due to the interference between RF chains. Because of these reasons, beamspace MIMO (BS-MIMO) technique with only single RF chain was proposed for MIMO transmission. This BS-MIMO system basically uses electronically steerable parasitic array radiator (ESPAR) antenna. Existing ESPAR antenna has a 5-element structure. So, it is possible to do only $3{\times}3$ MIMO transmission. Therefore, in order to extend BS-MIMO dimension, extension of ESPAR antenna structure is essential. In this paper, we show that BS-MIMO dimension can be increased according to the extension of structure of the ESPAR antenna, as in the conventional MIMO techniques. For example, we show that it is possible to design the $7{\times}7$ BS-MIMO transmissions with the 13-element ESPAR antenna. Also, when the number of parasitic elements of ESPAR antenna increases by two elements, MIMO dimension is expanded by 1.

MIMO system takes advantage of the spatial diversity obtained by spatially separated antennas for high- performance and high-capacity broadband wireless access. In this paper, we propose Carrier Interferometry coded MIMO-OFDM system (MIMO-CI/OFDM) which provides frequency and spatial diversity. One combined diversity gains featly improve the performance of OFDM systems. To perform a performance analysis, we have used SPW platform that provides an easy tool to analyze the performance. The results show that the performance of MIMO-CI/OFDM shows an approximately 4dB gain over the MIMO-OFDM even in highly frequency selective fading channels.

This paper proposes an area-efficient pipeline FFT processor for MIMO-OFDM systems with four transmitting and four receiving antennas. Since the MIMO-OFDM system transmits multiple data streams, the complexity for the MIMO-OFDM system with a single-channel FFT processor increases linearly with the increase of the number of transmit channels. The proposed FFT processor is based on multi-channel structure, and therefore it can efficiently support multiple data streams. With the mixed radix algorithm, the number of non-trivial multiplications of the proposed FFT processor is decreased. The proposed FFT processor is synthesized with CMOS $0.18{\mu}m$ process and reduces the logic gates by 25% over a 4-channel Radix-4 multi-path delay commutator (R4MDC) FFT processor. Since the MIMO-OFDM FFT processor is one of the largest modules in the systems, the proposed FFT processor will be a vast contribution improvement to the low complexity design of MIMO-OFDM systems.

In this paper, we have proposed MIMO-IBFD system that can transmit and receive multiple data stream at the same time in the single band, and analyze the system. We have confirmed that MIMO-IBFD system requires multiple RF cancellation and multiple Digital cancellation techniques. In simulation, we have analyzed characteristic of received signal on MIMO-IBFD system, and evaluate system performance of conventional $2{\times}2$ MIMO system and MIMO-IBFD system. As simulation results, we have confirmed that MIMO-IBFD system can transmit and receive multiple data stream at the same time in the single band by using multiple RF and digital cancellation techniques. Additionally, we have confirmed that BER performance of $2{\times}2$ MIMO-IBFD system with low-level QAM modulation is similar to performance of $2{\times}2$ MIMO system, and BER performance of $2{\times}2$ MIMO-IBFD system with high-level QAM modulation is degraded in comparison with $2{\times}2$ MIMO system with high-level QAM modulation. We can confirm that MIMO-IBFD system requires high level self-interference cancellation technique in order to use high level modulation.

Performance of the Alamouti algorithm based M-ary $2{\times}N$ OSTBC(Orthogonal Space Time Block Coded) MIMO(Multi Input Multi Output) system has been simulated varying two main parameters - the number of constellation(M), and the number of receiving antennas(N). Computer simulation has also been carried out using Matlab software for performance comparison between $2{\times}N$ MIMO and MRC(Maximal Ratio Combining) diversity antenna system to evaluate the degree of enhancement achieved through the use of Alamouti $2{\times}N$ MIMO. Under 10 dB EbNo QPSK scenario, $2{\times}1$ MIMO brought 4.2 dB BER improvement over single antenna system and $2{\times}2$ MIMO resulted in 7.4 dB BER improvement over $1{\times}2$ MRC.
