Abstract
To address the drawbacks associated with multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems, we propose the use of the transmit antenna selection technique. In transmit antenna selection, the best performing antenna(s) is selected from all the available transmit antennas for transmission. Transmit antenna selection reduces the number of radio frequency chains, and the system complexity while still achieving the goals of multiple antenna systems. In this thesis the performance of a MIMO system employing transmit antenna selection and maximal-ratiocombining is studied.
