Simulating Throughput As A Device Design Metric

Modern antennas utilize MIMO technology in order to meet consumer demands for high data rates.  As such, throughput is a required design metric when evaluating one antenna design versus another and simulating device performance in a realistic scenario leads to shorter design cycles. Traditional antenna design metrics primarily measure stand-alone antenna performance and don't fully provide the needed insight for current applications.  In order to achieve high data rates, design engineers need to combine their antenna design with a channel model and compute throughput.  This MicroApps presentation from IMS 2018 demonstrates the latest capabilities in throughput simulation.
