Field test When measured by the 4 different Antennas we see completely different frequency response. Each Antenna has Nulls in different frequencies. After Combining Constellations in each of the 4 elements
Null Forming Reducing the effect of interference
Null Forming Beams are built long term with Nulls to major interference sources. Such sources can be neighboring APs/Clients or any non-WiFi source. Null forming coexist with BF-MIMO.
MIMO Null Forming One beam is built per direction with Nulls overlapping
