MIMO Channel Equalisation MATLAB Programming Conclusions<br />

Zero-Forcing (ZF) Equaliser<br />

The ZF approach is a very simple linear filter scheme that is accomplished by<br />

computing the Moore-Penrose pseudo-inverse of the channel matrix, H + . Accordingly,<br />

nulling in the ZF criterion is equivalent to completely cancelling the interference<br />

contributed by streams of other users (transmitting antennas). However, ZF receivers<br />

generally suffer from noise enhancement. The ZF filter is therefore given by<br />

( −1H<br />

WZF H = H+ = H H) H H , (2)<br />

and its output as<br />

˜s ZF = W H ZF y = s+ (H H H) −1H H v (3)<br />

The error covariance matrix is therefore given by<br />

Φ ZF = E<br />

[<br />

(˜s ZF −s)(˜s ZF −s) H] ( −1<br />

= σv<br />

2 H H) H (4)<br />

Noticeably, by referring to (4), it is evident that small eigenvalues of H H H will lead to<br />

significant errors due to noise amplification. This, in fact, represents the main<br />

drawback of the ZF filter design as it disregards the noise term from the overall design<br />

and focuses only on perfectly removing the interference term from signal s<br />
