Mobile Networked Multiple-Input/Multiple-Output (MIMO) (MNM)
Abstract
The Mobile Networked Multiple-Input/Multiple-Output (MIMO) (MNM) program pursued MIMO communication systems, which have the potential to increase data rates by 10-50 times those of current systems. MIMO uses multiple antennas to create parallel channels in the same frequency band, thereby increasing spectral efficiency. This effort demonstrated the MNM capability under dynamic urban Non-Line-of-Sight multipath channel conditions where conventional techniques are degraded. This effort also advanced MIMO technology development and performed field demonstrations of mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs), culminating in the development of a wideband form-factor system for use in tactical edge devices, such as troops, vehicles, and robotics. The MNM technology is planned for transition to the Army.
