Finalité

The course introduces the concepts of fading induced by propagation multi-paths and the concept of diversity to mitigate the flat fading effects. It focuses on space diversity through SIMO, MISO and MIMO systems. It also introduces the concept of beamforming for free space propagation and the basis of equalization for frequency selective fading channels. Finally it introduces the concept of spatio-temporal coding and spatial multiplexing for MIMO systems.

Compétences visées
