A matrix inversion hardware architecture based on Gauss-Jordan elimination for MIMO applications

Digital Communications require faster and more dedicated electronic plat-forms to satisfy its real time performance. Highly computational algorithmic kernels can create a bottleneck to the systems where it is implemented on, due to the time it take to provide outputs, which reduces the throughput of...
