Singular Value Decomposition
(SVD) in MIMO Systems
Parallelization of MIMO Channels
MIMO Channel Capacity
• SVD transforms MIMO into independent sub-channels,
improving performance.
• Capacity depends on power allocation and singular values.
• Parallel data transmission increases spectral efficiency.
This forms the foundation for MIMO systems in wireless networks,
enabling high-speed data transmission in technologies like 5G
and Wi-Fi.
Optimal MIMO Capacity
Lagrange Multiplier Method
Water-Filling Interpretation
Solving for 𝜆
• Water-filling optimally distributes power among MIMO
channels.
• Strong channels get more power, weak channels may get none.
• Iterative solving finds the best λ\lambdaλ for optimal capacity.
This is a fundamental concept in MIMO systems, 5G, and wireless
communications for efficient spectrum usage.
• Conclusion
• MIMO Capacity: 5.23 b/s/Hz.
• Water-filling Algorithm allocated power to only two channels
P1,P2.
• Optimal Transmission: The transmit vector is aligned with the
strongest singular modes of the channel.
This example illustrates how SVD-based beamforming and water-
filling power allocation optimize MIMO system performance.
