• Using antenna separation to achieve uncorrelated receiver streams
• At each site the original data is split into 4 bit streams
• Two antennas, two polarization on each
• The receiver is able to distinguish between the streams due to a phase
difference caused by the antenna separation.
• Transmitting and receiving utilizing
the same frequency channel

NLoS and LOS MIMO
5
• NLoS MIMO originated as a non-line-of-sight (NLoS) technology, exploiting signal multi-
path caused by reflections from various physical obstacles by using multiple transmitters
and receivers to increase spectral efficiency by spatially multiplexing multiple bitstreams
over the same frequency channel.
• In LoS microwave, the non-LoS multipath signal is weak and unusable for the purpose of
MIMO. Instead, LoS MIMO achieves spatial multiplexing by creating an artificial phase de-
correlation by deliberate antenna distance at each site in deterministic constant distance.

LoS MIMO – Theory of Operation
16
• The same signal will arrive at a different
phase in different antennas
• We control the phase by varying path
lengths (𝒅𝒊𝒋)
• Path lengths are configurable by
controlling antenna separation (𝒉𝟏, 𝒉𝟐)
• The following equation formulates the
antenna separation distance required for
optimal LoS MIMO operation
ℎ1 ∙ ℎ2 =𝐷 ∙ 𝑐

MIMO configuration for SD
FibeAir IP-20C’s MIMO capabilities can also be utilized, with minor
adjustments, to provide Baseband Combining (BBC) Space Diversity (SD).
An SD configuration is based on either a 2x2 MIMO installation (for 1+0 SD)
or a 4x4 MIMO installation (for 2+0 SD, using two IP-20C units), with
antenna separation based on SD requirements.
• the transmitter connected to the diversity antenna is muted to achieve a
configuration that consists of a single transmitter and two receivers
• When IP-20C is configured for SD operation, the signal is combined at the
Baseband level to improve signal quality selective fading

• Two IP-20C units on each side of the link, with both radio carriers activated in each unit
• Both carriers of the slave unit are muted
• On the RX side, each unit receives a dual polarization signal from the remote master unit,
which includes the data streams from both carriers
• The slave unit shares the data stream it receives with the master unit, and the master unit
combines each data stream to produce a single, optimized signal for each carrier
• Configuration based on 4x4 MIMO configuration but with antenna separation based on SD
