Abstract :
A rapid prototyping system for the analysis of multiple input-multiple output (MIMO) algorithms is presented in this paper. It combines the flexibility of MATLAB with the processing power of existing field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) to speed up the implementation and testing of real-time multiple-antenna receiver algorithms, suitable for integration into current wireless communication systems. As an application example, the sphere decoder (SD) for uncoded MIMO systems has been implemented and tested on this rapid prototyping system
