Mimo Overview
MIMO is an important part of most modern wireless communication systems, and is the enabler of 5G communication systems.
Description
Mobile traffic is endlessly expanding pushing throughput requirements to mobile networks higher and higher. The ways we currently use cannot fully meet actual throughput requirements as bandwidth is inherently limited and higher order modulations need increased SINR (Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio).
Another way to grow network throughput and capacity is usage of multiple antenna techniques on both transmitter and receiver sides also known as MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output).
MIMO is an important part of modern wireless communication systems, such as 3G and 4G among others. MIMO is the enabler of 5G communication systems and with multiple antennas at the transmitter and receiver it helps design wireless communication systems.
This course covers significant concepts of MIMO communication and after completion of the course you will be able to apply the methods for performance analysis and design of advanced wireless communication systems
