Abstract

This paper gives a description of a hardware testbed for evaluation of adaptive base station antenna arrays in the GSM/UMTS. The testbed is aimed at the spatial and temporal characterisation of the radio channel and at the performance evaluation of array processing algorithms. The testbed consists of two test mobiles and an 8 element adaptive array receiver. The array processing is implemented by means of real-time digital signal processing hardware
