These performance and efficiency gains are possible because mMIMO combines the radio and antenna into a single active antenna unit with 16\/32\/64\/96 elements. The higher number of antenna elements enables 3D beamforming focusing the RF energy toward the user of interest, reducing interference with surrounding users and improving overall performance and efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More antenna elements result in increased product complexity and higher production costs. We developed a\u00a0mMIMO antenna array reference design\u00a0that can be incorporated into your products to help reduce production costs and improve quality \u2014 minimizing your initial investment and accelerating your time to market. We use a single board for the antenna array, enabling a more automated production process which reduces assembly time nearly fivefold compared to traditional designs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\" id=\"h-take-advantage-of-our-market-leading-mmimo-design-and-test-capabilities\" style=\"font-weight:600\">Take advantage of our market-leading mMIMO design and test capabilities<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/flex.com\/solutions-and-services\/design-engineering\">Our design process<\/a> involves specification, modeling, simulation, construction, optimization, and acceptance. Over-the-Air (OTA) testing capabilities enable us to fully test and characterize products to help ensure all your specifications are met.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>OTA testing is performed in a full anechoic conical-cut chamber where measurement data is collected in the near-field and transformed to the far-field using the spherical near-to-far-field transformation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Partner with us to customize our mMIMO antenna array reference design to meet your specific product requirements.
