Abstract: A Detailed Analysis Of 2×2 MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) Combined With OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) Transmission System And BPSK Modulation Has Been Carried Out. The BER Performance Of The System Has Been Determined For Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN) Presuming Flat Fading Rayleigh Channel. On The Receiver Side Linear Equalization Techniques Such As Zero Force Equalizer (ZF) And Minimum Mean Square Error (MMSE) Detectors Were Employed For Studying The BER Performance. The Simulation Results Show That For BER Of ~10-4 , The SNR Required Are ~34 Db For ZF Equalizer And ~31db For MMSE Equalizer. The Simulation Results Indicate That The MMSE Equalizer Shows Better Performance ~3 Db Over The ZF Equalizer. Further Comparison Of The 2X2 MIMO Performance Of OFDM With STBC Multiplexing Indicates Comparable BER Performances. The Simulation Results Are Presented And Discussed In The Paper.
