MIMO Testing: The Good and the Bad (.PDF Download)

Dec. 17, 2014

Multiple input multiple output (MIMO) devices make 4G performance possible through their ability to function in complex RF environments. Multiple antennas enable increased data throughput and quality of service without increasing transmission power or bandwidth. But these devices need testing systems capable of simulating various RF environments in a repeatable and controlled manner in order to find...
