| Abstract: |
A wireless multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) testbed with up to 6 GHz radio-frequency (RF) carrier and up to 40 MHz modulated signal bandwidth provides a unique opportunity for real-time realistic experimentation, demonstration, testing, validation, and general R&D, as well as education. Wireless device testing and development and verification of the advanced physical layer (PHY) solutions are of particular interest to cellular network operators and vendors of 4G equipment. This article portrays needs for hardware emulation of wireless systems and their deployment challenges. Furthermore, the article describes an affordable 2x2 MIMO testbed, its hardware and software components, and their connectivity. The testbed usage scenarios and experiments are illustrated through examples that are of great interest to the research community. Finally, likely future developments in the emulation of wireless communication systems are outlined. |
