Abstract

There are no limit of human desire, so day by day we need much higher data speed to facilitate our need but every physical resource like frequency band, transmit signal strength are finite. Within the given limited resource, higher data speed is accomplished by new proficiency called Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO), Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) system. MIMO-OFDM fulfills the high data rate requirement through spatial multiplexing gain and improved link reliability due to antenna diversity gain. With this technique, both interference reduction and maximum diversity gain are achieved by increasing number of antennae on either side. Received signal in MIMO-OFDM system is usually distorted by multipath fading. In order to recover the transmitted signal correctly, channel effect must be estimated and repaired at receiver. In this paper the performance evaluating parameter mean square error and symbol error rate of least square error, minimum mean square error and DFT based channel estimation methods are estimated and appropriate solution is recommended. Furthermore, comparison among their characteristics is simulated in MATLAB and useful conclusion is delineated.
