Space-time processing for CDMA mobile communications

by Pieter Van Rooyen

"The authors have addressed many of the most basic questions relating to the use of space-time processing in CDMA-based third generation systems and have presented models for the integration of space-time processing, error correction coding, and multi-user detection techniques. Included is extensive background information on cellular systems, antenna array theory, smart antenna techniques, performance of basic space-time processors and advanced space-time processors.". "The book also includes an extensive simulation program written in Matlab. The simulation code implements both the uplink and the downlink of a UMTS-like communication system. This provides multiple options for simulating system performance using a variety of channel models as well as receiver structures.". "Space-Time Processing for CDMA Mobile Communications will be an invaluable reference work for engineers and researchers, and a useful resource to design engineers enabling them to understand the implications of addin
