Synopsis
This text brings together spatial/temporal channel models and analytic
performance evaluation techniques; establishes a link between smart
antenna systems and advanced receiver design techniques; treats smart
antennas specifically for UMTS-like communication systems, with applicable
simulations and calculations; and supplies code with MATLAB GUI so
readers can run or modify existing simulations or create new ones. The
field of smart antenna technology or, more generally, space-time
processing is rapidly becoming one of the most promising areas of mobile
communications, especially regarding the development of the first
practical third-generation mobile communication systems. The authors have
addressed many of the most basic questions relating to the use of
space-time processing in CDMA-based third-generation systems and have
presented models for the integration of space-time processing, error
correction coding, and multi-user detection techniques. Included is
extensive background information on cellular systems, antenna array
theory, smart antenna techniques, performance of basic space-time
processors and advanced space-time processors. The book also includes an
extensive simulation program written in MATLAB. The simulation code
implements both the uplink and the downlink of a UMTS-like communication
system. This provides multiple options for simulating system performance
using a variety of channel models as well as receiver structures.
