Smart Antennas—State of the Art brings together the broad expertise of 41European experts in smart antennas. They provide a comprehensive review and anextensive analysis of the recent progress and new results generated duringthe last years in almost all fields of smart antennas and MIMO (multiple-inputmultiple-output) transmission.

The following represents a summarizedtable of content:

• Receiver: space-time processing, antenna combining, reduced rank processing, robust beamforming, subspace methods, synchronization, equalization, multiuser detection, iterative methods.
• Channel: propagation, measurements and sounding, modelling, channel estimation, direction-of-arrival estimation, subscriber location estimation.
• Transmitter: space-time block coding, channel side information, unified design of linear transceivers, ill-conditioned channels, MIMO-MAC strategies.
• Network Theory: channel capacity, network capacity, multihop networks.
• Technology: antenna design, transceivers, demonstrators and testbeds, future air interfaces.
• Applications and Systems: 3G system and link level aspects, MIMO HSDPA, MIMO-WLAN/UMTS implementation issues.

This book serves as a reference for scientists and engineers who need to beaware of the leading edge research in multiple-antenna communications, an essential technology for emerging broadband wireless systems.
