MIMO
- [Instructor] In today's fast paced digital world, the demand for faster, more reliable wireless communication is skyrocketing. Whether it is streaming high definition videos, making video calls, or managing smart devices, our networks need to handle more data than ever. This is where Multiple Input, Multiple Output, which is also called MIMO, becomes essential. MIMO is a technique that allows multiple antennas to transmit and receive different data streams simultaneously. This innovation has transformed wireless communication by improving both coverage as well as the data reach. Let's break it down step by step. The first one is a spatial diversity. Think of it as a safety net for single coverage. The transmitter sends the same data through multiple antenna areas, and the receiver collects it from the different parts. For example, if one part is blocked or it got weakened due to obstacles like building, the receiver still gets the data from another path. This enhances the diversity…
