MIMO 101: Next Generation Wireless Technology is Finding Its Way Into Most New Systems

摘要

In case you haven't heard, MIMO means Multiple Input Multiple Output which — by itself — still does not explain very much. It is a relatively new wireless technique that makes use of two or more transmitters, receivers, and antennas to greatly improve the range, reliability, and data rate of digital wireless systems. It is being incorporated in the newest versions of wireless LANs and in the new metropolitan (metro) wireless systems like WiMAX. And it could play a role in future cell phone systems. You can expect to see it soon in a wireless system that you use. That's why you should know more about it.
