MIMO is the acronym that refers to multiple input multiple output. MIMO exploits a previously mentioned RF phenomenon called multipath. Multipath transmission implies that signals will reflect off walls, doors, windows, and other obstructions. A receiver will see many signals each arriving at different times via different paths. Multipath tends to distort signals and cause interference, which eventually degrades signal quality (this effect is called multipath fading). With the addition of multiple antennas, a MIMO system can linearly increase the capacity of a given channel by simply adding more antennas. There are two forms of MIMO:
- Spatial diversity: This refers to transmit-and-receive diversity. A single stream of data ...
