When we started thinking about writing the first edition of this book a few years ago, we had been
working together for more than five years on the borderline between propagation and signal processing.
Therefore, it is not surprising that this book deals with propagation models and design tools for MIMO
wireless communications. Yet, this book should constitute more than a simple combination of these
two domains. It hopefully conveys our integrated understanding of MIMO, which results from endless
controversial discussions on various multi-antenna related issues, as well as various interactions with
numerous colleagues. Obviously, this area of technology is so large that it is beyond our aim to cover all
aspects in details. Rather, our goal is to provide researchers, R&D engineers and graduate students with
a comprehensive coverage of radio propagation models and space–time signal processing techniques
for multi-antenna, multi-user and multi-cell networks.

Many wireless communications channels consist of multiple signal paths from the
transmitter to receiver. This multiplicity of paths leads to a phenomenon known
as multipath fading. The multiple paths are caused by the presence of objects in the
physical environment that, through the mechanisms of propagation, alter the path of
radiated energy. These objects are referred to as scatterers. In the past, researchers
often looked at ways to mitigate multipath scattering, such as in diversity systems.
Multiple-input, multiple-output (MIMO) systems, on the other hand, use multipath
diversity to their advantage; a MIMO system has the ability to translate increased
spatial diversity into increased channel capacity.

his research aims at creating broadband tunable, fully integrated filters for the application of
cognitive radio and signal classification receivers. The approach under study is the N-path filter
technique which is capable of translating a baseband impedance to a reference frequency creating
a tunable filter. The traditional N-path filter suffers from fundamental architectural limitations,
namely : a trade-off between insertion loss and out-of-band rejection, reference clock feed-
through, and jammer power handling limitations. In the first approach, the fundamental trade-
off of the traditional N-path filter between insertion loss and out-of-band rejection is improved by
a transmission line (T-line) N-path filter technique.

Ever since ancient times, people continuously have devised new techniques and
technologies for communicating their ideas, needs, and desires to others. Thus,
many forms of increasingly complex communication systems have appeared
over the years. The basic motivations behind each new one were to improve the
transmission fidelity so that fewer errors occur in the received message, to
increase the transmission capacity of a communication link so that more infor-
mation could be sent, or to increase the transmission distance between relay sta-
tions so that messages can be sent farther without the need to restore the signal
fidelity periodically along its path.

The investigation of the propagation channel is becoming more and more important in mod-
ern wireless communication. The demand for spectral efficiency motivates exploitation of
all channels that can possibly be used for communications. Nowadays, a common trend for
designing physical layer algorithms is to adapt the transceiving strategy, either by maximizing
the diversity gains or by utilizing the coherence of the channels to improve the signal-to-noise
power ratio.

This paper presents a Hidden Markov Model (HMM)-based speech
enhancement method, aiming at reducing non-stationary noise from speech
signals. The system is based on the assumption that the speech and the noise
are additive and uncorrelated. Cepstral features are used to extract statistical
information from both the speech and the noise. A-priori statistical
information is collected from long training sequences into ergodic hidden
Markov models. Given the ergodic models for the speech and the noise, a
compensated speech-noise model is created by means of parallel model
combination, using a log-normal approximation. During the compensation, the
mean of every mixture in the speech and noise model is stored. The stored
means are then used in the enhancement process to create the most likely
speech and noise power spectral distributions using the forward algorithm
combined with mixture probability. The distributions are used to generate a
Wiener filter for every observation. The paper includes a performance
evaluation of the speech enhancer for stationary as well as non-stationary
noise environment.

Ultra-wideband (UWB) technology enables high data-rate short-range communica-
tion, in excess of hundredmegabit-per-secondsand up to multi-gigabit-per-seconds,
over a wide spectrum of frequencies, while keeping power consumption at low lev-
els. This low power operation results in a less-interfering co-existence with other
existed communication technologies (e.g., UNII bands).
In addition to carrying a huge amount of data over a distance of up to 230 feet
at very low power (less than 0.5mW), the UWB signal has the ability to penetrate
through the doors and other obstacles that tend to reflect signals at more limited
bandwidths and higher power densities.

Software Radio (SR) is one of the most important emerging technologies for the
future of wireless communication services. By moving radio functionality into
software, it promises to give flexible radio systems that are multi-service, multi-
standard, multi-band, reconfigurable and reprogrammable by software.
Today’s radios are matched to a particular class of signals that are well defined
bytheircarrierfrequencies,modulationformatsandbandwidths.Aradiotransmitter
today can only up convert signals with well-defined bandwidths over defined center
frequencies, while, on the other side of the communication chain, a radio receiver
can only down convert well-defined signal bandwidths, transmitted over specified
carrier frequencies.
