The Impact of Transmit Diversity in LTE-A Capacity

Emad Aldeen Abd Allah Omer ^[2] | Mohammed Abaker Hussian

Abstract: Transmitter using diversity technology to increase signal quality and reduce the error in the received signal by send the same data across a number of antennas number of copies of data across more than one antenna. In this paper we aims to study the impact of Transmit Diversity on capacity for the Long Term Evolution -Advanced for normal cyclic prefix in spectrum allocation of (25, 30, 35, 40 and 100) MHz The capacity calculations will take into account the effect of the correction factor (losses due to cyclic prefix and reference symbols) The result of study will determine whether the transmit diversity meet the requirement of IMT-Advanced that identify by The ITU in terms of capacity at acceptable value of SNR and analyze the effect of the number of antennas in capacity when using transmit diversity.
