In IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society International Symposium (APSURSI), Book Series: IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society International Symposium, 2012. IEEE, 2012. ISBN: 978-1-4673-0462-7978-1-4673-0462-71522-3965http://hdl.handle.net/10400.21/5072This paper describes the hardware implementation of a High-Rate MIMO Receiver in an FPGA for three modulations, namely BPSK, QPSK and 16-QAM based on the Alamouti scheme. The implementation with 16-QAM achieves more than 1.6 Gbps with 66% of the resources of a medium-sized Virtex-4 FPGA. This results indicate that the Alamouti scheme is a good design option for hardware implementation of a high-rate MIMO receiver. Also, using an FPGA, the modulation can be dynamically changed on demand.engconference object
