This document analyzes the performance of a MIMO-OFDM wireless communication system using different antenna configurations through simulation in MATLAB. It finds that the system performs better when diversity is increased at both the transmitter and receiver sides. Specifically, it shows that bit error rate decreases and signal-to-noise ratio increases as the number of receiving antennas is increased when using BPSK modulation over an AWGN channel. The performance of MIMO-OFDM is evaluated for different detection methods and antenna configurations, and zero-forcing with successive interference cancellation is found to improve bit error rate compared to other techniques.
