Broadband MIMO Channel Measurement System

   
 

Unlike traditional single antenna systems, the performance of multiple antenna system depends largely on real MIMO channel conditions. While the MIMO channel condition varies for different radio environments, it also depends on the MIMO antennas used to transmit and receive multiple streams of radio signal. ASTRI has developed a broadband MIMO channel measurement system to facilitate MIMO system algorithm and antenna designs

   
 

Applications

   
 

ASTRI's broadband MIMO channel measurement system can provide service for:

  1. System algorithms design
    • Baseband algorithms assessment with real channel data
    • Effect of mutual-coupling between practical MIMO antennas included
  2. MIMO antenna design
    • Actual assessment of MIMO antennas, which is independent of the implementation of system algorithm at PHY/MAC layers
    • Better MIMO antenna designs resulted from In-depth understanding of actual MIMO channels
  3. oint optimization design of antenna and system algorithm
