The software SystemVue is adopted for signal processing and system-level simulation with merit of strong operability and high efficiency, which provides tools for the single RF link MIMO system research. A single RF link of a 2 \u00d7 2 MIMO system based on the switch parasitic antenna is proposed in this paper. The binary codes are modulated to the baseband Binary Phase Shift Keying (BPSK) signals and transmitted with a 2.4 GHz carrier frequency. The receiver based on the super-heterodyne prototype adopts the channel equalization algorithm for restoring symbols, and it can effectively reduce the system error rate. The simulation results show that the MIMO system built on the platform can achieve equivalent performance with traditional MIMO system, which validates the effectiveness of the proposed scheme. The switched parasitic antenna and equalization algorithm provide new research ideas for single RF link MIMO system and have theoretical significance for further research.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/sym9120304","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,12,6]],"date-time":"2017-12-06T11:29:36Z","timestamp":1512559776000},"page":"304","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Performance Analysis of MIMO System with Single RF Link Based on Switched Parasitic Antenna"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"9","author":[{"given":"He","family":"Yu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electronics and Information Engineering, Harbin Institute of Technology, Harbin 150001, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Guohui","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electronics and Information Engineering, Harbin Institute of Technology, Harbin 150001, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Fanyi","family":"Meng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electronics and Information Engineering, Harbin Institute of Technology, Harbin 150001, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2450-6028","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yingsong","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Information and Communication Engineering, Harbin Engineering University, Harbin 150001, China"},{"name":"National Space Science Center, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100190, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,12,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"766","DOI":"10.1109\/TAP.2015.2506201","article-title":"Compact broadband dual-polarized antenna for indoor MIMO wireless communication systems","volume":"64","author":"Lee","year":"2016","journal-title":"IEEE Trans.
