Abstract

This letter establishes the near optimality of the linear equalizers (LEs) in multiple antenna systems with frequency selective fading. First, we show that a zero-forcing (ZF) LE employing N r receiver antennas (where N r > 1), achieves a fixed signal-to-noise-power-ratio (SNR) of N r-1/N o in an i.i.d. Rayleigh fading channel with infinite number of taps. The LE sacrifices one degree-of-freedom (DOF) for mitigating the multi-path fading channel and leaves remaining N r-1 DOF for array gain. The maximum performance loss with respect to the matched filter bound (MFB) is shown to be 10 log(N r-1/N r) which becomes small in systems with large antenna arrays. Next, simulation is used to compare the performance of minimum-mean-square-error estimation (MMSE) and ZF receivers. It is shown that the MMSE based LE provides a significant advantage over ZF LE only for singleantenna systems and the performance difference between the two methods becomes arbitrarily small with an increase in the number of receiver antennas
