This ground-breaking work focuses on a new digital radio architecture now emerging as a key technology in the wireless industry and in the third generation of cellular communications.

This is the first book to directly address the problems of wireless high data rate communication using multi-antenna technology from the physical layer point of view. It details new digital radio architectures now emerging as a key technology for third- and fourth-generation wireless communications. This ground-breaking resource enables you to: understand the interaction of theory and practice in multi-antenna technology; systematically approach design and implementation of multiantenna digital radio systems; relate traditional RF design parameters to modern communication systems; analyze and evaluate end-to-end performance of the wireless link; and use new algorithmic strategies for wireless high data rate communications. Supported with over 440 equations and 120 illustrations.
