1. Introduction
The MIMO communication system has been one of the most promising technologies, well suited
for high data rate communication. A MIMO (Multiple-Input-Multiple-Output) system use at least
two antenna structures and is more advantageous than single-input single-output (SISO) in an
aspect of increasing channel capacity and reducing transmitting power. MIMO antennas should
have compact structure, high radiation efficiency, low envelope correlation, and high isolation
between the signal ports.
In small structures (antennas spaced closely), the application of MIMO technology has been
restricted by high degree of coupling and spatial correlation between antenna elements due to
the limited available space. The isolation between antennas become critical as it can deteriorate
the system performance and decreases channel capacity.
The Hercules MA.510 MIMO antenna is low profile, heavy-duty, fully IP67 waterproof external
M2M antenna for use, transportation and remote monitoring applications. This unique
omnidirectional antenna provide high efficiency and high isolation between antennas elements
in a heavy-duty low profile compact structure, delivering powerful MIMO antenna technology for
Wi-Fi 802.11n and emerging 802.11ac.
The antenna screws down permanently onto a roof or metal panel and can be pole or wall-
mounted. One antenna elements is vertically polarized and one is horizontally polarized to
increase the isolation between antennas.
For industries such as remote monitoring, smart meter systems, construction equipment, public
safety at only 29mm high, the Hercules MA.510 MIMO antenna provides an unobtrusive, robust,
rugged antenna that is durable even in extreme environments.
