FPGA-based MIMO testbed for LTE applications

This paper addresses the designing a pragmatic appliance of multi-antenna, 2.437GHz ISM band multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) testbed systems developed for evaluating wireless MIMO algorithms. Since using Sundance demo package for the development of a flexible field-programmable gate array (FPGA) processing system. The objective of this contribution is to provide an understanding of basic MIMO-LTE techniques and the practical concept, the setup, and the handling of our MIMO testbed based on SMT hardware and 3L diamond software platform in facts. The testbed manipulated as well as a MATLAB interface allowing real channel measurements become used in evolution and algorithm development. We have proposed a 2×2 antenna MIMO transceiver testbed system with Alamouti STBC and 64-QAM research model which efficiently implemented the MIMO algorithms.
