Transmit and receive filters for MISO FBMC systems subjected to power constraints

Build upon the OFDM/OQAM scheme this paper addresses the design of linear transmit and receive filters. Aiming at enhancing the robustness against multipath fading, two novel techniques are proposed. The first one jointly designs transmit and receive filters under the MMSE criterion. The second scheme follows a ZF approach. In this case transmit and receive filters are independently devised. Pre-equalizers obtained by both strategies are subjected to power constraints. Simulation-based results show that the two proposed techniques benefit from having perfect channel knowledge at both ends of the link to outperform the Alamouti scheme. The best performance in terms of BER is given when transmit and receive filters are jointly designed.
