This paper makes an examination of BER (bit error rate) performance in 2×2 MIMO (Multi-Input Multi-Output) systems using spatial multiplexing in a LOS (line-of-sight) environment by analysis using the eigenvalue and eigenvector of the channel matrix and simulation. It is shown that BER performance in a LOS environment is dependent on the phase relation of direct paths and the minimum squared absolute value of the eigenvalue, which are determined by the propagated distance. A technique for improving BER performance in a LOS environment is then considered based on these findings. A receive antenna selection (RAS) technique is presented which uses the minimum squared absolute value of the channel matrix eigenvalue. Proof is then given that BER performance is improved using this RAS technique, thus making clear the validity of this approach for obtaining optimum BER performance in a LOS environment.
