Hav u heard abt MIMO ?

Now that i did say im busy with my project thot that i mite as well write a bit abt wat it is all abt...not the entire cos it will be too much in one gulp. I'll give an intro. So here goes...
Have u heard of 2G mobiles. Well all of us were using them once upon a time. Its nothing but the first model mobiles all of us had, some even have now...the most familiar among it being the nokia 1100....ok so wat abt 2.5G...that includes a mobile enabled with GPRS. So is that the final one. Come on technology is ever evolving, will it stop with 2.5G. So we have the 3G mobiles. Now wat falls under that. Simple its the CDMA technology we all now, thats now implemented in India. So where do i come? Im researching in 4G communication. Know wat that means. Im into research and thats wer MIMO comes. Multi Input Multi Output deals with having multiple antennas at the transmitter and receiver. I cant make it more simpler. And my project is on the performance evaluation of these systems with more concentration on the receiver side. Im dealing with multistage receivers and using coded signals. We use Space Time Block Codes to code the signals and 2 stages of receivers are considered- Nulling and Cancellation. I guess this is more than enough terms for the first portion. More to come...Wait n watch.
