A complete discussion of MIMO communications, from theory to real-world applications

The emerging wireless technology Wideband Multiple-Input, Multiple-Output (MIMO) holds the promise of greater bandwidth efficiency and wireless link reliability. This technology is just now being implemented into hardware and working its way into wireless standards such as the ubiquitous 802.11g, as well as third- and fourth-generation cellular standards.

Multiple-Input Multiple-Output Channel Models uniquely brings together the theoretical and practical aspects of MIMO communications,...

This book fills the gap between the literature on nonlinear filters and nonlinear observers by presenting a new state estimation strategy, the smooth variable structure filter (SVSF). The book is a valuable resource to researchers outside of the control society, where literature on nonlinear observers is less well-known. SVSF is a predictor-corrector estimator that is formulated based on a stability theorem, to confine the estimated states within a neighborhood of their true values. It has the potential to improve performance in the presence of severe and changing modeling uncertainties...
