Detailed Documentation

This implementation demonstrates a sophisticated MIMO system simulation using MATLAB. The simulation framework incorporates comprehensive comparisons between 2x2 MIMO configurations with and without channel coding across both AWGN and Rayleigh fading channels, along with 1x2 SIMO scenarios. Key implementation aspects include: - AWGN channel modeling using randn() function for additive white Gaussian noise - Rayleigh channel simulation through complex Gaussian random variables - Channel coding implementation employing convolutional codes or LDPC codes - Maximum Ratio Combining (MRC) technique for 1x2 receiver diversity - Zero-Forcing or MMSE equalization algorithms for 2x2 MIMO detection - Bit Error Rate (BER) performance evaluation through Monte Carlo simulations This enhanced simulation framework provides thorough analysis of MIMO system performance characteristics, enabling comprehensive understanding of spatial diversity gains and channel coding benefits under different propagation conditions.
