mmWave, MIMO, and Beamforming
R2026bGrowing demand for higher data rates and user capacity requires efficient spectrum utilization. Multi-user multi-input multi-output (MU-MIMO) and Massive MIMO techniques improve spectrum efficiency by enabling simultaneous communication with multiple receivers and increasing the number of data streams transmitted. 5G systems use large-scale antenna arrays to counter propagation loss in mmWave bands. These examples show how you can use RF Blockset™ to design, simulate, and analyze mmWave, MIMO, and beamforming systems.
