MIMO Book MATLAB Examples

This page contains downloadable MATLAB examples with relevance to the following book:
"A Practical Guide to the MIMO Radio Channel" by T. Brown, E. DeCarvalho and P. Kyritsi

Sample available at Google Books

The book is designed for introducing MIMO for beginners from the perspective of the propagation channel. The complementary MATLAB codes supplied here are for the purpose of being used as MIMO tutorials to assist in learning about MIMO systems and propagation channel modelling. More information about the book and purchase is available at the following link.

An errata list has been created as follows for identified errors to equations in the book by clicking here.

The relevant MATLAB codes are available for download at the following links chapter by chapter.

Chapter 2
