MIMO is an acronym for 'Multiple Input Multiple Output'. In this technology, more than one antennas are mounted at each end to improve the performance of a communication system. OFDM may be combined with multiple antennas at both the access point and mobile terminal to increase diversity gain and/or enhance system capacity on a time-varying multipath fading channel, resulting in a Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) OFDM system. This paper discusses the basic introduction to a general MIMO-OFDM system including the block diagram, governing equation, relevant designing parameters and brief analysis of system performance parameters.
