Mimo

MIMO (), or multiple-input multiple-output, is a wireless technology that multiplies the capacity of a radio link using multiple transmit and receive antennas. MIMO has become a core technology for broadband wireless communications, including mobile standards—4G WiMAX (802.16 e, m), and 3GPP 4G LTE and 5G NR, as well as Wi-Fi standards, IEEE 802.11n, ac, and ax.

MIMO uses the spatial diversity to increase link capacity. The technology requires multiple antennas at both the transmitter and receiver, along with associated signal processing, to deliver data rate speedups roughly proportional to the number of antennas at each end.
