Abstract

Spatial Multiplexing (SM) is an effective means for enhanc- ing the transmission data rate inMultiple-InputMultiple-Output (MIMO) systems, particularly when used in combination with precoding tech- niques. In this paper, the diversity order of a SM MIMO system using a Minimum Mean Square Error (MMSE) receiver is analysed when a precoder based on transmit antenna correlation is included at the trans- mitter. It is shown that the diversity order is given by d = Nr − Ns + 1 where Nr is the number of receive antennas and Ns is the number of data streams. Although enabling a Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) gain, such a precoder is thus not able to improve the diversity order with respect to a non-precoded SM MIMO system.
