3TU course on MIMO Wireless Communication
[attachment=53876]
Capita 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
Multiple antenna’s have the future
Standardizing committees see the tremendous BB DSP opportunities from multiple antennas
Spectrum scarcity pushes this for < 5 GHz (signal separation)
Bit rate (link budget Eb/N0) pushes this for > 60 GHz (beamsteering)
Organisation
Offered in the context of 3TU
Centered around IOP project MIMO for a Mass Market
Contributions from the 3TUs and Philips Research
Open for
PhD students of 3TU
People involved in the MIMO4aMM project
Others (masters) students, 3TU and Philips employees: admission required
External people: admission and possibly participation fee
