Abstract: We investigate the use of multiple transmitting
and/or receiving antennas for single user communications over the
additive Gaussian channel with and without fading. We derive formulas
for the capacities and error exponents of such channels, and describe
computational procedures to evaluate such for mulas. We show that the
potential gains of such multiantenna systems over singleantenna
systems is rather large under independence assumptions for the fades
and noises at different receiving antennas.
