MIMO Wireless Communications

Uniquely, this book proposes robust space-time code designs for real-world wireless channels. Through the unified framework, it emphasizes the MIMO performance system under realistic power constraints. Combining a solid mathematical analysis with a physical and intuitive approach to space-time coding, the book is progressively deriving innovative designs, taking into consideration the MIMO channels are often far from ideal.

The various models of MIMO propagation and space for the development of R & D engineers and graduates. MIMO propagation and space-time coding for researchers, R & D engineers and graduate students.
