Advanced Antenna Systems for 5G Network Deployments

Autorentext

Henrik Asplund received his M.Sc. degree from Uppsala University, Sweden, in 1996 and joined Ericsson Research, Stockholm, Sweden, in the same year. Since then he has been working in the field of antennas and propagation supporting pre-development and standardization of all major wireless technologies from 2G to 5G. His current research interests include antenna techniques, radio channel measurements and modelling, and deployment options for 5G including higher frequencies.

Klappentext

Advanced Antenna Systems for 5G Network Deployments: Bridging the Gap between Theory and Practice provides a comprehensive understanding of the field of advanced antenna systems (AAS) and how they can be deployed in 5G networks. The book gives a thorough understanding of the basic technology components, the state-of-the-art multi-antenna solutions, what support 3GPP has standardized together with the reasoning, AAS performance in real networks, and how AAS can be used to enhance network deployments.
