Abstract

MIMO systems have become an indispensable part of modern wireless standards, e.g. LTE advanced. However, in applications with strict energy and size constraints, an alternative MIMO scheme with reduced hardware complexity would be attractive. Towards this direction, parasitic antennas with a single feeding port have been proposed to emulate MIMO transmission with PSK signaling. In order to support higher order constellations, this letter presents a smart loading scheme that enables the multiplexing of two 16-QAM signals over the air. Accompanying simulations show that this can be achieved by using a single feeding port and parasitic antennas.
