Multiple-Input Multiple-Output/ MIMO

Definition

MIMO uses spatial multiplexing across multiple antennas to increase throughput, range, and resilience without additional spectrum. In tactical mesh waveforms, MIMO provides robustness against multipath and partial jamming and enables scalable density of nodes per channel.
