Spatial Stream / Antenna Design Fundamentals of Spatial Streams Spatial streaming is primarily observed in wireless communications where multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) is being used. When wireless signals are being transmitted or received simultaneously in a MIMO environment, the signals being transmitted by the various antennae are multiplexed by using different spaces within the same spectral channel. These spaces are known as spatial streams. Transmit (x) Receive : Spatial Streams (3x3:2)
