Robert W. Heath, Jr is a Cullen Trust for Higher Education Endowed Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Texas at Austin. He is a Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). Angel Lozano is a Professor in the Department of Information and Communication Technologies at Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Barcelona. He is a Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE).

'This masterpiece from two preeminent scholars and innovators was worth the wait: this book took over a decade to write. Heath, Jr and Lozano are renowned information and communication theorists who have made many pioneering contributions to the theory of MIMO. However, they are unusual in also having done much to bring MIMO into practice: Heath at a pioneering Silicon Valley startup and Lozano at Bell Labs. They hold dozens of fundamental patents on MIMO and their broad perspective gives this book a unique depth and relevance. The book is well-suited for teaching or self study, and stands apart from others in the beauty and completeness of the exposition.' Jeffrey Andrews, University of Texas, Austin
