Integrated Simulation and Testing of 802.11ac MIMO Designs

Wth speeds in excess of 1Gb/s, the new 802.11ac WiFi standard addresses the needs of high-definition video and other high-bandwidth wireless applications. One of the keys to 802.11ac’s speed is the use of multiple input, multiple output (MIMO) architecture. The standard supports up to eight spatial streams and antennas, along with multi-user MIMO to increase downlink transmission efficiency.
