Multiantenna Digital Radio Transmission

by Massimiliano "Max" Martone

Overview

A text or tutorial for members of the engineering community with a basic understanding of communication theory and an undergraduate electrical engineering background. It begins with fundamentals that force readers to consider the physics of wave propagation, which is usually neglected in communication theory texts, then explains several approaches to the demodulation of multi-antenna signals and their experimental analysis. The treatment is not comprehensive, but focuses on physical-layer issues, particularly as they relate to baseband signal processing requirement. Only recently has it been discovered that multi-antenna technology can achieve impressively high data rates for wireless communication without impacting bandwidth usage, transmitting power, or range.
