Abstract

Multiple antenna systems can exploit the spatial resource to mitigate multipath, to reduce multiuser interference, and to increase spectral efficiency.
After introducing Random Matrix Theory, the course covers the basic principles and applications of multiple antenna systems, including eigenbeamforming, space-time coding, high-throughput MIMO, distributed MIMO, Multi-User MIMO, and massive MIMO. Applications include 5G wireless systems and high-speed wireless LAN.

 

About the speaker

Marco Chiani (IEEE Fellow) was born in Rimini, Italy, in April 1964. He received the Dr. Ing. degree (summa cum laude) in electronic engineering and the Ph.D. degree in electronic and computer engineering from the University of Bologna, Italy, in 1989 and 1993, respectively.

He is a Full Professor in Telecommunications (since 2001) at the University of Bologna. During summer 2001, he was a Visiting Scientist at AT&T Research Laboratories, Middletown, NJ. Since 2003 he has been a frequent visitor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Cambridge, where he presently holds a Research Affiliate appointment.

He is the past chair (2002–2004) of the Radio Communications Committee of the IEEE Communication Society and past Editor of Wireless Communication (2000–2007) for the journal IEEE Transactions on Communications.

In 2012 he has been appointed Distinguished Visiting Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering, UK.

He is a Fellow of the IEEE, named for “Contributions to wireless communication systems”.
