ABSTRACT:
A method to equalize multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) signals assigns a weight to the output of each receive chain in the MIMO system based on a first noise power value in each receive chain. A second noise power value can be computed using a difference between identical symbols from one or more weighted/un-weighted receive chain signals. Notably, the second noise power value includes thermal noise, phase noise, quantization noise, and distortion noise. The weighted outputs of the receive chains and the second noise power estimate may be used in an equalization calculation to recover the input signal.
