In this book, the authors investigate the possibilities and benefits of combining UWB and MIMO technologies; highlighting five aspects of this promising research field: channel capacity, space-time coding, beamforming, UWB-MIMO relay, and time-reversal transmission. Ultra Wideband Systems with Multiple-Antennas will provide a systematic and in-depth discussion for UWB-MIMO issues. Up-to-date results are covered, some of which have never been published. It will bethe first book solely dedicated to UWB-MIMO. All the topics discussed in thisbook are the cutting-edge research. It is expected that the ideas illustratedin this book will provide some sparks for the emerging technologies for short-range high data rate wireless communications or other kinds of related applications. The contents of the book consist of the following chapters: 1) Basics of UWB radios including the definition of UWB transmission and several commonly used UWB waveforms (mono-pulses), MIMO principle for narrow-band communications, 2) UWB-MIMO Channel Measurement and Models (Channel measurement setup, Ray trace simulation tool), 3) Channel Capacity (the frequency flat case, the frequency selective case, Capacity versus outage probability), 4) UWB-MIMO Modulation and Coding Schemes (UWB spatial-frequency multiplexing, UWB spatial-frequency coding, UWB STC Scheme I and UWB STC Scheme II), 5) UWB Beamforming (Themain lobe beamwidth for UWB beamformer, Optimal beamforming), 6) UWB Localization (LOS localization, NLOS localization, The BeamLoc approach, Application: Indoor robot localization), 7) UWB-MIMO Relay (Coherent detection systems, Non-coherent detection system), 8) UWB-MIMO Time-Reversal Transmission (TR designfor the SISO case problem formulation, channel estimation, TR design for the MIMO case.Professor Thomas Kaiser, Leibniz University of Hannover, Germany Professor Kaiser is the leader of the Institute of Communication Technology at the LeibnizUniversity of Hannover, Germany, and is the founder and CEO of the spin-off company mimoOn GmbH. At mimoOn GmbH, he leads the scientific team to transfer the cutting edge signal processing algorithms combined with the up-to-date hardware, especially those for MIMO, into real products. Kaiser received the Ph.D.degree in 1995 with distinction and the German habilitation degree in 2000, both from Gerhard-Mercator-University, Duisburg, and in electrical engineering.Professor Feng Zheng, Leibniz University of Hannover, Germany Professor Zhengreceived the Ph.D. degree in automatic control in 1993 from Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Beijing. He is now with Leibniz University of Hannover. He held Associate Professor at Chinese Academy of Sciences during1995-1998 and Alexander-von-Humboldt Research Fellowship at University of Duisburg during 1999-2000. His research results on system and control theory are widely cited. From 2002, he has switched his research interests to signal processing, wireless communications and networks, especially on UWB and MIMO. He is one of the co-authors of the first paper on the channel capacity of UWB-MIMOsystems.
