Abstract :
This paper presents the multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) testbed for rapid characterization of practical MIMO wireless and wireline channels, as well as verification, performance evaluation and demonstration of newly developed transmission and signal processing algorithms in real life environments. The testbed is ideal for development of advanced software-defined radio (SDR), wireless and wireline SISO, SIMO, MSO and MIMO systems. Detailed architecture, specifications and operation of the MIMO wireless and wireline testbed, and some experimental results are discussed.
