Performance Comparison of Various Diversity Techniques using Matlab Simulation

Due to the time-varying nature of the wireless channel and presence of limited resources for the signal transmission, which faces various detrimental effects such as path-loss, delay spread, Doppler spread, shadowing and interference make it very difficult to achieve sufficient data rates. To combat the effect of multi-path fading in the wireless communication system, the diversity combining mechanism has been introduced. In this paper, we have developed an algorithm for the performance evaluation of various spatial diversity combing techniques by using Matlab simulation. The developed new algorithm combine all three diversity techniques such as maximal ratio combining (MRC), selection combining (SC) and equal gain combing (EGC) techniques The combined diversity techniques algorithm computes and compares the MRC, SC, and EGC combing techniques theoretically by using the Matlab simulation.
