The article considers possible variants of application of various MIMO schemes for the communication with the drone or unmanned aerial vehicle. The model of multipath propagation of radio waves taking into account polarization parameters of antennas is given. The main focus is on the use of MIMO technology with polarization-orthogonal channels and channels with double polarization. The evaluation of the efficiency of using full polarization reception in comparison with MIMO channels of one polarization is given. Attention is paid to the presence of cross-polarization solution between the channels.
