IEEE Journal of Solid-State Circuits 53, #5 (2018): pp. These arrays are fed through the back side of the board using through-hole vias, which if properly constructed, can pass mmWave signals to a load. In other words, the chips each cover a single 4x4 array (4 Rx and 4 Tx). This array is feed with a group of transceivers on the back side of the board, where the chips form a pair of 2x2 transceiver arrays. The image below shows an example MIMO antenna concept with a 4x8 antenna arrays. IEEE, 2018.Įxample MIMO Array With Flip Chip Transceivers "An eight-port dual-band antenna array for 5G smartphone applications." In 2018 Cross Strait Quad-Regional Radio Science and Wireless Technology Conference (CSQRWC), pp. "A low-profile and high-isolated MIMO antenna for 5G mobile terminal." Micromachines 11, #4 (2020): 360. Take a look at the articles below for some example MIMO antenna designs: Later research focused on the use of MIMO in handsets with 8 antennas, which may have multiple resonant frequencies to enable wideband operation. In this example, 4 channels are being used to transmit and receive data. For example, the 4x4 cellular MIMO array shown below (4 Tx and Rx antennas) was used in the iPhone back in late 2018. Most MIMO-based systems (including smartphones) include an antenna array that provides highly directional emission over multiple channels. This effectively increases throughput without taking up additional frequency bands. When two MIMO-capable devices are connected, multiple data streams can be transferred between them in parallel within the same channel. Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) supports the use of multiple data streams being sent between a transmitting device and a receiving device. The other part of this is a layout task in order to support multiple antennas required in MIMO. Part of this is a component selection task as you need to select a set of baseband transceiver/conversion ICs to support MIMO. If you’re designing RF products to support telecom or networking infrastructure, then there’s a chance you’ll need to design your product to support MIMO. Recently, the drastic increase in wireless services direct to consumers and in offices has been enabled by MIMO. ![]() MIMO can be traced all the way back to research papers from the 1970s, and significant development was required before the technology could be commercialized. Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) has become a more popular term now that 5G is becoming more publicized, but this term and the technology have been around for awhile.
