Introduction
Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) wireless systems represent an economical way to
increase user capacity in a variety of environments. The use of antennas at both transmitter and
receiver allows
Multiplicative increase in capacity and spectral efficiency
Dramatic reductions of fading thanks to diversity
Increased system capacity (number of users)
Lower probability of detection
Improved resistance to interference
