Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) is a wireless technology that uses multiple transmitters and receivers to transfer more data at the same time.

Applications of MIMO

An acronym for Multiple-In, Multiple-Out, MIMO communication sends the same data as several signals simultaneously through multiple antennas, while still utilizing a single radio channel . This is a form of antenna diversity, which uses multiple antennas to improve signal quality and strength of an RF link.

Examples of MIMO systems include heat exchangers, chemical reactors, and distillation columns . These systems can be complicated through loop interactions that result in variables with unexpected effects. Decoupling the variables of that system will improve the control of that process.
