Abstract:
A measurement indicator, “transfer efficiency,” is provided for evaluating conditions of propagation paths of wireless communication systems having a plurality of transmitting and receiving antennas. Transfer functions of signal paths are calculated from data of received signals that are obtained with receiving antennas by receiving OFDM signals transmitted by transmitting antennas. A demodulation matrix is calculated for demodulating a transmitting vector from a receiving vector concerning a desired subcarrier of the received signals. A noise amplification factor is calculated as a square root of a sum of second powers of components of the demodulation matrix of the receiving antennas concerning the desired transmitting antenna. The noise amplification factor or the inverse is displayed as a value or as a graph that has an axis concerning the subcarrier and an axis concerning the noise amplification factor or the inverse.
