Introduction to MIMO Communications

Introduction to MIMO Communications

This accessible, self-contained guide contains everything you need to get up to speed on

the theory and implementation of MIMO techniques.

In-depth coverage of topics such as RF propagation, space-time coding, spatial mul-

tiplexing, OFDM in MIMO for broadband applications, the theoretical MIMO capacity

formula, and channel estimation, will give you a deep understanding of how the results

are obtained, while detailed descriptions of how MIMO is implemented in commercial

WiFi and LTE networks will help you apply the theory to practical wireless systems.

Key concepts in matrix mathematics and information theory are introduced and devel-

Applied Physics Laboratory, and an Adjunct Professor in the Whiting School of Engi-

neering, at The Johns Hopkins University, where he teaches a graduate course in MIMO

wireless communications.

“This is a well-organized comprehensive treatise on MIMO principles, methods, and

applications. While many concepts are introduced in intuitively pleasing ways; the

integration of detailed step-by-step mathematical developments of MIMO principles,

propagation models, channel characterizations, and applications of MIMO in commer-

cial systems adds tremendous depth and understanding to the concepts. After studying

this text, if readers have interests in topics not covered, they will very likely be able to

understand or author for themselves advanced MIMO literature on such topics.”
