Development of a DSP&FPGA Based Real Time MIMO Prototyping Testbed

In this paper we describe a multiple-input multipleoutput (MIMO) communication testbed, in which real-time signal processing is achieved with the help of Sundance´s digital signal processing platform including TI DSP modules, XINLINX FPGA modules and A/D & D/A modules. As an advanced wireless communication system, the presented MIMO testbed not only provides a real communication link for theoretical researchers to evaluate the key techniques and design their algorithms, but also achieves a comprehensive, open and systemic application testbed with short development time and flexible reconfiguration.
