Abstract
Multi-input multi-output (MIMO) receivers have typically been
designed and their communication performance analyzed under the
assumption of additive Gaussian noise.
Wireless transceivers, however, may be affected by radio frequency
interference (RFI) which is well modeled using non-Gaussian
impulsive statistics.
In this paper, we consider the problem of receiver design for a
two transmit, two receive antenna MIMO system in the presence of RFI.
First, we show that RFI is well modeled using a bivariate Middleton
Class A model and validate the model with measured data.
Using this RFI model, we demonstrate that conventional MIMO receivers
experience significant degradation in communication performance.
Then we derive the maximum likelihood (ML) receiver assuming bivariate
Middleton Class A noise.
Furthermore, we develop a parameter estimation method for this noise
model and propose two sub-optimal ML receivers with reduced computational
complexity.
Simulations show significant improvement in symbol error rate performance
of the proposed techniques over conventional receivers.
