Title: 3TU course on MIMO Wireless Communication
13TU course on MIMO Wireless Communication
Jean-Paul Linnartz September 2006
2About the contents of the course
- MIMO is an important trend that shapes the future
of wireless communication systems - MIMO is a multidisciplinary topic
- MIMO is being addressed in Delft, Eindhoven and
Twente.
3Capita Selecta in Wireless Communication
- This course covers selected topics in Wireless
Communications, including RF, information theory
and software radio architectures. Yet the topics
are not a random collection of faculty hobby
horses, but are seen as important factors that
push the limits of future systems - One-chip radio, i.e., combining RF and BB into
one chip solution, requires an new multi
disciplinary approach to mitigating the
imperfections of analog (CMOS) circuits by
digital signal processing. - To achieve an adequate link budget for high
frequency, multi gigabit, adaptive combination of
multiple antenna signals is required. - There are power-consumption limits to pushing to
A/D Converter further to the antenna. High-rate
MIMO signals would pose unacceptably high demands
on power hungry A/D converters, unless signals
are optimally preconditioned before digitization.
- The ever increasing density of using the radio
spectrum call for signal separation, interference
cancellation and beam-steering. DSP algorithms
can push performance and the insights from
information theory increasing set the stage for
innovation. - More intelligent spectrum access techniques
(cognitive radio) require flexible processor
platforms, adaptive front-ends, and new adaptive
algorithm
4Multiple antennas have the future
- Standardizing committees see the tremendous BB
DSP opportunities from multiple antennas - Spectrum scarcity pushes this for lt 5 GHz (signal
separation) - Bit rate (link budget Eb/N0) pushes this for gt 60
GHz (beamsteering)

13Signal Processing for Communications2 Days by
Allejan van der Veen
- Techniques for signal separation and parameter
estimation, using arrays of sensors, and applied
to wireless communications. - We start by deriving a signal processing model of
the wireless channel. We then recall useful tools
from linear algebra QR, SVD, eigenvalue
decompositions, projections. This gives us tools
to discuss some more elementary receivers the
matched filter, the Wiener filter. - Finally we discuss important applications
estimation of angles and delays using ESPRIT,
adaptive space-time filters, the constant modulus
algorithm.
