Syfte

The aim of this course is that the student should gain a good overall understanding of the topic of multiple antenna systems for wireless communications. Multiple antenna systems is an important technology for providing high data rates in existing and upcoming wireless communications systems.

Mål

Kunskap och förståelse

För godkänd kurs skall doktoranden

• be able to describe the key benefits of applying multiple antenna systems
• be able to distinguish between different types of multiple antenna systems
• be able to explain the role of propagation channel (including effects of antennas) on the capacity of multiple antenna systems
• be able to account for the differences in system performance resulting from the possible availability of channel knowledge
• be able to identify relevant implementation issues of multiple antenna systems, including practical coding schemes and performance limits/tradeoffs.

Färdighet och förmåga

För godkänd kurs skall doktoranden

• be able to qualitatively demonstrate the operating principles of multiple antenna systems, under both spatial multiplexing and spatial diversity schemes
• be able to calculate the channel capacity of multiple antenna systems for a given setup
• be able to quantitatively demonstrate the benefit of spatial diversity
• be able to implement, in simulations, different receiver structures and evaluate their respective performance
• be able to make use of simulation tools such as Matlab to solve simple design problems with a set of system performance requirements.

Värderingsförmåga och förhållningssätt

För godkänd kurs skall doktoranden

• Have a comprehensive view of how multiple antenna systems influence the system performance and how the technology can be used in wireless links.
• Feel confident in the ability to evaluate the use of multiple antenna systems in a given wireless communication scenario.

Kursinnehåll

The course is presented from an interdisciplinary perspective, across different aspects of the communication systems, including coding/modulation, antennas, propagation channel, medium access control. This is because the performance gains from multiple antenna systems can only be achieved by a holistic consideration of these issues. In particular, the following topics will be presented: Background of multiple antenna systems and basic concepts Propagation channel in multiple antenna systems Capacity of multiple antenna systems Space-time coding Receiver structures Exploiting channel knowledge at the transmitter Multiuser scheme Performance limits and tradeoffs
