Most of the material in this lecture was taken from Tse and
Viswanath, Section 3.3.
Antenna arrays have long been used for beamforming in
communication systems - see for example:
W. C. Jakes, Ed. Microwave Mobile Communications, Wiley, 1974.
An antenna array with an adaptive antenna pattern is often
called a "smart antenna". There are a number of books
that discuss the use of these for wireless systems, see
for example:
J. Liberti and T. Rappaport, Smart Antennas for Wireless Communication
Prentice Hall, 1999.
There is a large amount of literature on signal processing
algorithms for antenna arrays, often referred to by
such names as spatial filtering or array processing.
See for example:
S. Pillai, Array Signal Processing, Springer-Verlag, 1989.
An extension of transmitter beamforming for the case where only
partial CSI is available at the receiver is discussed
in:
A. Narula, et al., "Efficient Use of Side Information in
Multiple-Antenna Data Transmission over Fading
Channels," IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in
Commun., Vol. 16, Oct. 1998.
An extension of the Alomouti scheme to more than 2 antennas is
discussed in:
V. Tarokh, H. Jafarkhani and A. Calderbank, "Space-time Block
Codes from Orthogonal Designs," IEEE Trans. on
Information Theory Vol. 45, July 1999.
