Figure 24. Spatial Multiplexing
Spatial multiplexing can double, triple, or quadruple the date rate, depending on
the number of transmit antennas used. You can configure the number of chains
(i.e., streams) separately for transmitting and receiving. Up to three chains may be
configured separately for transmitting and receiving. We recommend that you set
both TX Chains and RX Chains to 3 (see “Global Settings .11n” on page 273).
These are the default values.
