MIMO vs SISO – Antenna Technology By: Peter McNeil Though the terms single-input single-output (SISO) and multi-input multi-output (MIMO) originate with controls engineering, SISO and MIMO are now very commonly discussed in reference to RF antennas. In controls engineering, a SISO system has only one input and one output, such as a DUT with only...
