Such an iterative turbo process is difficult to describe in a closed form so the performance evaluation is often done by means of extensive numerical simulations. Analytical methods for performance evaluation have also been proposed in the literature based on Gaussian approximation of the output of the linear signal combiner. In this paper we propose to use mutual information to parameterize the logarithmic-likelihood ratios LLRs at the input output of the decoder casting our approach into the framework of extrinsic information transfer EXIT analysis. We find the EXIT functions of the front-end FE receiver analytically that is using solely the information about the channel state. This is done decomposing the FE receiver into elementary blocks described independently. Our method gives an insight into the principle of functioning of the linear turbo receivers allows for an accurate calculation of the expected bit error rate in each iteration and is more flexible than the one previously used in the literature allowing us to analyze the performance for various FE structures. We compare the proposed analytical method with the results of simulated data transmission in case of multiple antennas .
