Which directional antenna types are commonly used by indoor Wi-Fi devices in a MIMO multiple
spatial stream implementation?

Option C
C is the way to go here. Patch and panel antennas are made for indoor use with MIMO setups-they give you focused coverage but aren't overkill like sectors or grids. Pretty sure that's what they're looking for, but correct me if I'm missing something from the CWNP books.
Its B. I've seen sector antennas pop up in official practice tests for indoor MIMO cases, not just for outdoor use. Grid might be less likely indoors but sectors definitely show up in some exam scenarios. Double check with the CWNP guide if unsure, but I'm pretty sure B could also fit.
C , patch and panel are what you see indoors with MIMO gear.
Yep, definitely C for normal indoor enterprise Wi-Fi. Patch and panel are the usual directional types you see with indoor MIMO installs. Grid and dish are mostly for outdoor point-to-point links, so those wouldn't fit here. Pretty sure that's right but correct me if I'm missing something.
Probably C. Grid, sector, dish are more for outdoor point-to-point and yagi too. Indoors for MIMO it's patch/panel pretty much.
Its C, patch and panel are the usual indoor options for MIMO Wi-Fi. Sectors come up more for large venues, not standard rooms. Pretty sure thats what CWNP expects here but open to hear if anyone saw official material saying otherwise.
C imo. Patch and panel antennas are designed for indoor Wi-Fi, especially with MIMO, because they give good directional control without being as bulky as grids or sectors. B is a bit of a trap-sector antennas pop up in special use cases, but for most enterprise/multipath setups, patch/panel wins. Seen similar logic on other practice sets. Anyone disagree?
B or C? Seen sector antennas indoors for special designs, so not sure.
Doesn't this flip if the Wi-Fi deployment is in a shopping mall with long corridors? In that case, sector antennas (B) might actually be used indoors, right?
Be respectful. No spam.
