WiMAX主要是針對移動式用戶提供長距離高速的無線傳輸，以目前越來越需要高傳輸效率的無線通訊環境，MIMO(multi-input multi-output)多輸入多輸出或是MISO(multi-input single-output)多輸入單輸出的天線傳輸模式已逐漸在發送端甚至接收端使用。以MISO為例，可以使用最單純的雙輸入單輸出2-input 1-output搭配STC(space-time coding)時空碼來達到清楚的在接收端分解出兩個不同天線傳遞的訊號，以增加傳輸效率；其效果近似於同時間可以傳輸兩筆相同的資料，因為兩個不同天線在傳輸過程中所受到的通道效應影響如：頻率偏移(Frequency Offset)、路徑損失(Path Loss)、白色高斯雜訊(AWGN)等應不會相差太多，因而提高解碼正確率。在本論文中，我們將詳細探討這些效應之間的相互關係，並建立一套多天線下的WiMAX無線通訊模擬系統，包括編碼傳送、通道及接收解碼，並將各種效應做成具GUI介面的通道模擬系統，以方便使用者輸入通道參數進行模擬，裨讓使用者可據以找出可以將多重天線更善加利用的方法。
