Über die Autorinnen und Autoren

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.

Jonas Karlsson joined Ericsson in 1993. Since then he has held various technical and leader positions in Ericsson covering both radio access research and system management in product development. He is currently an Expert in Multi Antenna Systems at Development Unit Networks. He holds an M.Sc. in electrical engineering and engineering physics from Linköping University, Sweden, and a Ph.D. in electrical engineering from the University of Tokyo, Japan.

Fredric Kronestedt joined Ericsson in 1993 to work on RAN research. Since then he has taken on many different roles, including system design and system management. He currently serves as Expert, Radio Network Deployment Strategies, at Development Unit Networks, where he focuses on radio network deployment and evolution aspects for 4G and 5G. Kronestedt holds an M.Sc. in electrical engineering from KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, Sweden.

Erik Larsson joined Ericsson in 2005. He is currently a researcher working with concept development and network performance for NR with a focus on advanced antenna systems. He holds both an M.Sc. in engineering physics and a Ph.D. in electrical engineering, specializing in signal processing, from Uppsala University, Sweden.

David Astely is currently a Principal Researcher with Ericsson Research in the radio area. He received his Ph.D. in signal processing from KTH Royal Institute of Technology in 1999 and has been with Ericsson since 2001, where he has held various positions in both research and product development.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

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.

Advanced Antenna Systems for 5G Network Deployments is ideal for industry R&D engineers, mobile and wireless communications engineers, electronics engineers, university researchers and graduate students who are seeking a concise and practical reference on AAS technology and its deployment in 5G networks. The book is also a useful resource for any industry professional looking to deepen and broaden their knowledge of the AAS area.
