Abstract

The transmitted symbol is affected by the channel noise and diversity is an efficient method to reduce the noise and interference. Recently, the channel noise is cancelled by using a novel beamforming technique, where the transmitted symbols are weighted and the same weighting vectors are used at the receiver. In this paper, the authors use the proposed beamforming technique in antenna diversity to eliminate the channel noise and interference. The authors also compute the bit error rate (BER) performance for different diversity combiner and the result shows that the proposed beamforming algorithm with transmit diversity provide better BER performance than usual antenna diversity.
