摘要
A 4×4 64-QAM multiple-input multiple-output （MIMO） detector is presented for the application of an IEEE 802.1 In wireless local area network. The detector is the implementation of a novel adaptive tree search （ATS） algorithm, and multiple ATS cores need to be instantiated to achieve the wideband requirement in the 802.11 n standard. Both the ATS algorithm and the architectural considerations are explained. The latency of the detector is 0.75 μs, and the detector has a gate count of 848 k with a total of 19 parallel ATS cores. Each ATS core runs at 67 MHz. Measurement results show that compared with the floating-point ATS algorithm, the fixed-point imple- mentation achieves a loss of 0.9 dB at a BER of 10^-3.
