This paper analyzes the impact of fading correlation and cross polarization coupling on the error performance of V-BLAST MIMO system that employs detector algorithms like ZF, MMSE and ML with ordering and successive cancellation. Simulation results show the BER performance of these detectors for different modulation schemes. It is observed that lesser the channel fading correlation and cross polarization coupling values better is the performance of these detectors. Study is extended to see the effect of transmit and receive antenna correlation on Ergodic MIMO capacity.
