Antenna Design and Site Planning Considerations for MIMO

Overview The capacity and reliability of Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) wireless communications systems may be sensitive to the design of the antenna arrays employed at the transmitter and receiver, as well as to the nature of the propagation between the arrays. This paper discusses the emerging methodology of array design for indoor MIMO systems used to implement wireless local area networks, and discusses some aspects of site planning which are likely to influence design choices. Some guidelines are described for choosing the number, type, and polarization of elements; element spacing and geometry; and location and orientation of arrays within rooms and hallways.

Peter Cochrane's Uncommon Sense: Forget 'think different' - think 'non-linear'...

Second, surgeons who would normally have all their patients grouped on a single ward or known location now have to locate them in wards and rooms randomly distributed across an entire hospital. The energy output varies in direct proportion to the...

Analysis: NAS and SAN uniting

A typical SAN set-up could include a number of disk arrays that are connected to a switch that, in turn, is connected to a number of server computers. SAN disk arrays are sold by companies such as EMC, Hitachi Data Systems, Hewlett-Packard and IBM...

Five reasons to love (and hate) Windows Vista

Also, finally, there's a new feature called Low-priority Input/Output that should keep you productive: in Windows Vista, user applications will get higher priority with system resources than antivirus or defragmentation processes.

Peter Cochrane's Blog: How I boosted my mobile signal

Without going into the complex propagation, loss and gain, and radiation equations involved I can report that at ground level I get a stable two to three bars everywhere, which is sufficient to provide reasonable quality.

Vista SP1 coming early next year

Also being added are support for an emerging removable storage file format known as exFAT as well as for EFI (extensible firmware interface), an alternative to the Bios (basic input output system) that handles the initial start-up of a system.

Virtualisation: Architectual Considerations and other Evaluation Criteria

In the past several years, server virtualisation technology has moved quickly and firmly into the IT mainstream. Of the many approaches to system virtualisation available in the market today, VMware's hypervisor architecture has gained the greatest market acceptance. This paper examines the architectural issues, solution support, and enterprise readiness required when deploying such a virtualisation solution.
