The paper discusses channel inversion which is a spatial equalization technique when channel state information is available at the transmitter. Channel inversion is a straightforward concept without iterations and it might be useful when the data transmission is critical with time e.g. high data rate applications. We discuss performance degradation caused by channel estimation errors, clipping due to the limited range of the transmitted power and the effect of cochannel interference. These results give an insight into the technical constraints of this transmission technique and show how these critical issues can be limited or reduced.
