Multiple-input, multiple-output (MIMO) communication technology has become a critical enabler for high-speed wireless communication systems. This edited volume, MIMO Communications ¿ Fundamental Theory, Propagation Channels, and Antenna Systems, is a comprehensive resource for researchers, graduate students, and practicing engineers in wireless communication. The volume is divided into four parts that cover the foundations of wireless communications, antenna techniques, channel modeling, autonomous driving and radars. Experts in the field have authored chapters covering various topics, including capacity analysis of MIMO channels, antenna array design and beamforming techniques, channel modeling and estimation, and the applications of autonomous driving and radars. This book provides a detailed and accessible introduction to the latest research and practical applications in MIMO communication technology. It is an essential resource for anyone interested in learning about MIMO communication technology or looking to deepen their understanding of existing systems.

Substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) is a new type of transmission line. It implements a waveguide on a piece of printed circuit board by emulating the side walls of the waveguide using two rows of metal posts. It inherits the merits both from the microstrip for compact size and easy integration, and from the waveguide for low radiation loss, and thus opens another door to design efficient microwave circuits and antennas at a low cost. This book presents a two-dimensional fullwave analysis method to investigate an SIW circuit composed of metal and dielectric posts. It combines the cylindrical eigenfunction expansion and the method of moments to avoid geometrical descritization of the posts. The method is presented step-by-step, with all the necessary formulations provided for a practitioner who wants to implement this method by himself. This book covers the SIW circuit printed on either homogeneous or inhomogeneous substrate, the microstrip-to-SIW transition and the speed-up technique for the simulation of symmetrical SIW circuits. Different types of SIW circuits are shown and simulated using the proposed method. In addition, several slot antennas and horn antennas fabricated using the SIW technology are also given.
