Patent ID: 7940227

Claim:
A MIMO terminator system comprising: a base for providing a signal source; and two terminators fixed to the base such that a longest length of each of each terminator is substantially perpendicular to the base and parallel with each other, each terminator comprising: four radiating fins running the longest length of the terminator and spaced at approximately 90 degree intervals relative to each other, each radiating fin comprising a metallic layer substantially running the longest length of each terminator along an intersection of the radiating fins and radiator plates located at the top and bottom of an outer edge of the radiating fin, a non-radiating portion of each fin separating the top and bottom radiating plates from each other and from the metallic layer; and a control circuit disposed within the metallic layer for selectively supplying the signal source to the radiating plates of only one of the radiating fins; wherein the radiating fin of each terminator comprising the radiating plates supplied the signal source are substantially parallel and extend in substantially the same direction.
