Comparison of beamforming technologies

This is the fifth post in a series that delves into the subject of beamforming.   In this post, we compare all three beamforming methods (static, transmit, dynamic).

Although all three beamforming technologies provide SNR gain, they are quite different. In addition, all types of beamforming can exacerbate the following problems:

Sticky client problem: The sticky client [...]

Static beamforming

This post continues my discussion on beamforming which is a method of concentrating radio frequency (RF) energy in order to improve the signal to noise ratio (SNR) at the receiver, thereby improving network performance and predictability.  In this post, we discuss static beamforming.

Static beamforming provides a fixed radiation pattern by using a directional antenna. Virtually [...]

Introduction to beamforming

Beamforming is a method of concentrating radio frequency (RF) energy in order to improve the signal to noise ratio (SNR) at the receiver, thereby improving network performance and predictability. Enterprise WLAN vendors are now integrating beamforming technology into their access points (APs) so it is important to understand the types of beamforming and the benefits [...]
