Abstract

Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) wireless techniques represent a breakthrough in the use of antenna arrays in wireless systems. Unlike traditional phased array or diversity techniques that improve the sensitivity to one signal of interest, MIMO systems employ antenna arrays jointly at transmit and receive to spatially multiplex signals over multipath or near-field channels. Measuring system performance in terms of channel capacity, MIMO systems offer the exciting possibility of linear capacity increase with additional antennas compared to more modest logarithmic growth of traditional diversity systems. The large potential of MIMO techniques is evidenced by rapid adoption into recent wireless standards, such as 802.11n, LTE, and WiMAX.
