Abstract

With the rapid advancement of wireless communication technology, enhancing data transmission rates, system capacity, and reliability has emerged as a key challenge. The paper investigates the application of Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) antenna technology in wireless communication. By using multiple antennas for simultaneous signal transmission and reception, MIMO technology can effectively mitigate multipath effects and enhances channel capacity. And channel models of MIMO systems, capacity optimization strategies, and power allocation methods are also discussed. The results indicate that MIMO technology significantly improves transmission rates and signal quality in complex propagation environments. However, practical applications continue to face challenges such as channel estimation errors and antenna correlation. Therefore, the paper highlights the significance of MIMO technology in wireless communication systems and outlines potential directions for future research.
