Abstract
This paper presents the capacity performance of multiple antennas for wireless communication systems. Multiple
antennas structures can be classified into single-input multiple-outputs (SIMO), multiple-inputs single output (MISO),
and multiple-inputs multiple-outputs (MIMO) systems. Assuming that the channel is unknown at receiver, capacity
expressions are provided for each structure. Our results also show that increasing the number of transmitting and
receiving antennas for a wireless MIMO channel does indeed improve the channel capacity that can be obtained.
Keywords: MIMO Systems; Capacity; SISO; SIMO; MISO; MIMO Channels; SNR.

1. Introduction
During the past decade, Wireless Communications and
especially mobile communication systems have grown
considerably. The radio communication systems must meet a
growing number of users and no less demand for new
services. New digital technologies are currently being
studied to determine the fourth generation of mobile
communication systems with the objectives to provide high
spectral efficiency and a wide variety of services. In this
context, communication systems MIMO (Multiple Input
Multiple Output) based on the use of an antenna array at the
transmitter and receiver are able to offer high-speed
transmission with a minimum quality of service guarantee.
The intense research on MIMO systems was inspired by
seminal works by Telatar [11] and Foschini and Gans [12]
that showed a dramatic linear increase in channel capacity
with the number of antennas [13]. MIMO systems allow us
to operate two distinct dimensions of a radio link; the first
being the Diversity and the second being the Capacity. In
this paper we will focus on the Capacity of MIMO
channels because it is a performance measure for digital
communication systems and it is the maximal transmission
rate for which a reliable communication can be achieved.
This paper is organized as follows. Presentation of SISO,
MISO, SIMO and MIMO Systems (Section II). Then we will
present Capacity for all systems and we will concentrate to
MIMO channels capacity in (Section III) and we will finish
(Section IV) by a comparison between different multiantenna systems and the gain on capacity by increasing the
number of antennas.
