Abstract
This chapter focuses on the main theoretical aspects of transmission systems where more than one antenna is used at both ends of a radio link and hence where one channel use involves sending signals simultaneously through several propagation paths. The use of multiple transmit and receive antennas allows one to reach capacities that cannot be obtained with any other technique using present-day technology, and is expected to make it possible to increase the data rates in wireless networks by orders of magnitude. After describing system and channel models, we compute the capacities that can be achieved, and we show how “space-time” codes can be designed and how suboptimum architectures can be employed to simplify the receiver. Finally, we examine the basic trade-off between the data-rate gain, made possible by simultaneous transmission by several antennas, and the diversity gain, achieved by sending the same signal through several independently faded paths.
