Presenting a balanced treatment of both space-time processing and the channel modeling and characterization aspects of MIMO systems, Space-Time Processing for MIMO Communications includes: spatial beamforming and multiplexing techniques for attaining high rates; space-time coding techniques for mitigating channel fading; channel modeling and estimation techniques to enable coherent processing; and channel sounding and measurement methods for model validation, capacity estimation, and service provisioning. These are all critical components for the successful utilization of MIMO systems and the realization of the capacity gains promised by information theory making this book essential reading for researchers, engineers, and graduate students working in the field.
