MATLAB Simulation for VBLAST Receivers - ML Algorithm Implementation

This is a simple simulation program implementing the Maximum Likelihood (ML) algorithm for VBLAST reception systems, designed as an educational MATLAB simulation for beginners learning space-time coding (VBLAST reception). The program allows users to simulate and understand the ML detection mechanism in VBLAST receivers through hands-on operation and debugging. Key implementation features include configurable transmission parameters, channel modeling, and ML detection logic using matrix operations and signal processing techniques. Beginners can adjust system parameters (such as modulation schemes, antenna configurations, and signal-to-noise ratios) and design experiments to gain deeper insights into space-time coding principles and VBLAST reception applications. The simulation provides practical experience with algorithm implementation, including signal detection, error rate calculation, and performance evaluation metrics. This educational tool helps beginners effectively grasp and apply fundamental concepts in space-time coding through interactive experimentation and parameter tuning.
