Maximum Ratio Combining (MRC) architecture simulation

In the previous post on Single Input Multiple Output (SIMO) models for receive diversity, various receiver diversity techniques were outlined. One of them is maximum ratio combining, the focus of the topic here. Channel model Assuming flat slow fading channel, the received signal model is given by where, is the channel impulse response, is the … Read more

Receive diversity schemes – channel models

SIMO channel configuration is characterized by 1 transmit antenna and multiple receiver antennas (Figure 1). SIMO configuration is used to provide receive diversity, where the same informationĀ is received across independent fading channels to combat fading. When multiple copies of the same data are received across independently fading channels, the amount of fade suffered by each … Read more
