abstract
This paper first gives a brief introduction to Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) wireless communication systems. Various architectures of MIMO systems and corresponding features are discussed, including those proposed for the IEEE 802.11n standard. The impact on chip area and required data processing rates is then presented.
