In MIMO antenna design, the maximum likelihood (ML) receiver has significant advantages, but these come at the price of implementation complexity.
The maximum likelihood (ML) receiver estimator solves the following equation:
For the sake of simplicity, let’s use a SISO single transmit and receive antenna configuration as an example. In this case, y is the signal sampled at the receiver, s is the transmitted symbol, and H is the channel impulse response describing the channel between the transmit antenna and receive antenna.
The receiver looks for the transmitted symbol s, which minimizes this absolute value:
in which s belongs to a group of finite values that are defined by the symbol modulation. For 64QAM modulation, for example, s can have 64 different values.
