This document discusses a project analyzing the performance of MIMO-OFDM systems in Rayleigh fading channels. MIMO-OFDM is a popular technique for mobile communications that uses multiple antennas at the transmitter and receiver to improve data rates and capacity. The project compares the ergodic and outage capacities of MIMO-OFDM systems with varying numbers of transmit and receive antennas and analyzes performance metrics like SNR and BER. It aims to evaluate MIMO-OFDM prototype performance and investigate methods for cost reduction.
