Indoor optical wireless systems have attracted attention, because they allow high-speed transmission without electromagnetic interference. Multi Input Multi Output (MIMO) techniques are very promising in providing high data rate or providing performance over fading channels. Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) can send multiple high speed signals by using orthogonal carrier frequencies. In this paper, we propose an optical wireless MIMO-OFDM system to achieve better performance. The signal of each optical transmit antenna is detected by using zero forcing (ZF) algorithm. We use the error vector magnitude (EVM) to predict BER performance. The analysis of bit error rate (BER) shows that the proposed system achieve better performance transmission than OMIMO system when transmitting the signal over reflection channels.
