A comprehensive introduction to MIMO Radio Channel. An excellent reference to all who need a practical introduction to this topic. This book introduces the concept of the Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) radio channel, which is an intelligent communication method based upon using multiple antennas. It explaines MIMO in layman's terms to help people working in related areas to become easily familiarised. The structure of the book has been carefully arranged to allow a user to progress steadily through the chapters and understand the fundamental and mathematical principles behind MIMO through the visual and explanatory way it is written. Provides a summary of the current channel modeling approaches used by industry, academia and standardisation bodies Contains experimental and measurement based results Provides a comprehensive down to earth approach with concise and visual explanations of MIMO Radio Channel Covers a variety of system scenarios and explains the trade-offs involved in each Accompanying website containing MATLAB code and solutions to related problems

Dr Tim Brown, University of Surrey, Guildford, UK is a lecturer in mobile communications at the University of Surrey, UK, where he is conducting research in MIMO as well as teaching courses and seminars that include introducing MIMO as well as other aspects of mobile communications.
