Discover current design practices and performance metrics in this comprehensive guide to the latest methods of developing MIMO antenna systems.
Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) antenna systems use multiple sets of antennas to increase the capacity of a radio link, or to send and receive multiple simultaneous data signals over the same radio channel. It's become an increasingly integral part of wireless and mobile data networks, from the earliest generations of wireless internet to cutting-edge 5G systems. The coming 6G networks will also rely on 6G antenna systems, making it all the more critical for the next generation of engineers and antenna designers to have a firm grasp of this foundational technology.
MIMO Antenna Systems for 5G and Beyond offers a timely introduction to these systems and their design principles. Incorporating the latest designs and a comprehensive overview of current system configurations, it provides complete design procedures and performance metrics for MIMO systems. The result is a one-stop shop for all MIMO applications and wireless standards.
Antenna systems’ design and development is a combination of science and engineering art. Their characteristics are affected by various parameters such as size, material, shape, surroundings, and types, among many others, and have to be carefully designed and characterized. Careful integration with other system components is critical after the initial design and verification phase is completed to fulfil the expected performance and metrics. While single antenna wireless systems were adopted in the first three wireless generations (i.e., first, second, and third), the fourth generation introduced a new paradigm of wireless communications. It is based on sending multiple data streams to improve the system capacity (data rates) and combat the degradation from multipath signals that exist in all modern environments. This new paradigm is called MIMO communications, which require the existence of multiple antenna systems at the receiver and the transmitter sides. The introduction of multiple antennas in small form factor devices poses serious challenges to make such systems a complete success and achieve the desired high capacity.
This book focuses on the design and engineering of antenna systems for current and future wireless technologies and standards. While the antenna concepts and examples in this book focus on the current 5G requirements and use cases, they are equally applicable to any other wireless standards, as the fundamental aspects of antennas are to be satisfied regardless of the targeted technology. MIMO antenna systems in particular will be given special attention in addition to millimeter-wave (mm-wave) solutions for 5G and beyond.
