18-1 Laboratory experiments of dual-polarized MIMO transmission with multi-dimensional interleaving

Abstract

In dual polarized MIMO transmission, the difference in received power between horizontal and vertical polarizations is occurred because of the difference of transmission characteristics, and it makes the total bit error ratio characteristics deteriorated. It is confirmed that multi-dimensional interleaving scheme, that shuffles transmission data in inter-polarization and frequency simultaneously, improves the bit error ratio performance. This report describes results of the laboratory experiment conducted by using the prototype modulator and demodulator with multi-dimensional interleave function.
