types or providing larger bandwidths, this is also being achieved by using multiple antenna systems (Multiple Input, Multiple Output MIMO). This application note gives an introduction to basic MIMO concepts and terminology and explains how MIMO is implemented in the different radiocommunications standards. The solutions offered by Rohde & Schwarz are presented in the conclusion. The MIMO terminology refers to the channel, thus the transmitter is the channel input and the receiver the channel output.
2 MIMO
Several different diversity modes are used to make radiocommunications more robust, even with varying channels. These include time diversity (different timeslots and channel coding), frequency diversity (different channels, spread spectrum, and OFDM), and also spatial diversity. Spatial diversity requires the use of multiple antennas at the transmitter or the receiver end. Multiple antenna systems are typically known as Multiple Input, Multiple Output systems (MIMO). Multiple antenna technology can also be used to increase the data rate (spatial multiplexing) instead of improving robustness. In practice, both methods are used separately or in combination, depending on the channel condition.
Shannon-Hartley theorem According to Shannon, the capacity C of a radio channel is dependent on bandwidth B and the signal-to-noise ratio S/N. The following applies to a SISO system:

The purpose of spatial diversity is to make the transmission more robust. There is no increase in the data rate. This mode uses redundant data on different paths. 2.2.1.1 RX Diversity
RX diversity uses more antennas on the receiver side than on the transmitter side. The simplest scenario consists of two RX and one TX antenna (SIMO, 1x2).
Because special coding methods are not needed, this scenario is very easy to implement. Only two RF paths are needed for the receiver.

Figure 6: RX diversity
Because of the different transmission paths, the receiver sees two differently faded signals. By using the appropriate method in the receiver, the signal-to-noise ratio can now be increased. Switched diversity always uses the stronger signal, while maximum ratio combining uses the sum signal from the two signals (see Figure 6).

Because MIMO transmits via the same channel, transmissions using cross components not equal to 0 will mutually influence one another.
If transmission matrix H is known, the cross components can be calculated on the receiver. In the open-loop method, the transmission includes special sections that are also known to the receiver. The receiver can perform a channel estimation. In the closed-loop method, the receiver reports the channel status to the transmitter via a special feedback channel. This makes it possible to respond to changing circumstances.
