Node shapes regarding transmitter/receivers with multiple antennas, as well as a simple "base station" and "mobile station" shapes.

The main advantage of using these shapes, compared to drawing directly in Tikz, is that we define a few useful anchors, such as the usual "north", "northeast", "northeast", "east", "west", etc..

All you need to do to use these shapes it to include the mimoshapes.tex or the basestation.tex file in your document. That is, put \input{mimoshapes} or \input{basestation} in your document before your draw. See the testbasestation.tex and testmimoshapes.tex files for usage examples.

Some usual shape options can be used, such as minimum width, minimum height, fill, inner sep and outer sep. Besides these options some of the shapes accept some new options. Particularly the shapes defined in mimoshapes.tex. These options are right antennas or left antennas; antenna offset, antenna base height, antenna side, etc. See the testmimoshapes.tex file for examples.

At some point PGF changed the macro "\shape@name" to "\pgf@sm@shape@name". This macro was used in the mimoshapes.tex file, which was updated to use "\pgf@sm@shape@name". If you have an older version of PGF and can't compile the examples here, checkout the version pointed by the "OldPGF" tag and try compiling the examples with it.

Below you can find the expected results after compiling the testmimoshapes.tex, testbasestation.tex and test_irs.tex files.
