This paper describes implementation and performance evaluation of simple SDM-COFDM (Space Division Multiplexed-Coded Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) prototype over fading MIMO (Multi-Input Multi-Output) channel in order to achieve higher frequency utilization efficiency. It employs ZF (Zero Forcing) type detection scheme for SDM transmission to reduce hardware implementation complexity, where ZF type detection scheme needs to only multiply the received data by the estimated inverse propagation coefficient matrix at each OFDM subcarrier. Moreover, in order to improve the performance degra-dation due to the increase of the transmitted data length per frame in fast fading environments, the inverse matrix tracking using STC (Space-Time Coded) pilot is proposed and implemented in the prototype. Experimental results show that the prototype with 2×2 antennas achieves about 90% increase of the frequency utilization efficiency compared to the SISO (Single-Input Single-Output) transmission.
