Introduction
• Short historical note • Advantages of multi-antenna techniques • Adaptive antennas
– - Beamforming: spatial focusing of correlated signals – - Rx/Tx diversity: combining of decorrelated signals – - MIMO: increasing spectral efficiency/ data rates
• Simple example: SINR improvement • Definition of MIMO • Spatial correlation matrix • Example: Diversity & MIMO in WCDMA
