Evaluation of Synchronization andl Fractilonally Spaced Equalilzation in a MIMO SC-FDE Test-Bed

This contribution deals with the synchronization and the fractionally spaced equalization for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) single-carrier (SC) systems with frequency domain equalization (FDE). Synchronization, channel estimation and the proposed equalization are evaluated as a system employing real-world over-air transmission in the 2.4 GHz ISM-band by using our current MIMO test-bed (A. Wilzeck et al., 2006). Spatial multiplexing is demonstrated, allowing the system to reach an un-coded net data rate of 28.78 Mbit/s using 8-PSK modulation and a 3-dB bandwidth of 10 MHz
