Abstract

In this paper we consider the design of a linearly precoded MIMO transceiver based on filter bank (FB) modulation for transmission over broadband frequency selective fading channels. The modulation FB is capable of lowering the channel dispersion at sub-channel level. Nevertheless, the sub-channels experience some level of inter-symbol interference. Therefore, the pre-coder and the equalizer are designed exploiting the polynomial singular value decomposition (PSVD). In particular, we consider two types of FB system. The first system deploys maximal frequency confined pulses and it is referred to as filtered multitone (FMT) modulation, while the second uses maximal time confined pulses with rectangular impulse response, i.e., it corresponds to the conventional orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system. We compare the performance of the considered systems in terms of capacity over typical WLAN channels, showing that PSVD precoding with FMT can outperform the performance of precoded OFDM in the two-bytwo antenna case especially for moderate to low SNRs.
