We present four new developments for a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) over-the-air measurement system based on our previous studies. The first two developments relate to the channel model for multipath environment generation. One is a further simplification of the circuit configuration without performance degradation by reducing the number of delay generation units, which dominate the performance limit when implementing the circuit on a field-programmable gate array (FPGA). The other is to realize spatial correlation characteristics among the input ports on the transmission side, whereas the previously proposed channel model did not consider this correlation. The third development involves the details of implementing the MIMO fading emulator on an FPGA as a two-stage scheme. The fourth is the demonstration of application examples of the developed system.

AbstractThe Gaussian multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) orthogonal relay channel (ORC) is investigated. The transmission from source to relay is done over a channel that is orthogonal to source-destination and relay-destination channels. Practically, this assumption is made such that many communication devices from different technologies are exploited in relaying the source’s signal into its destination. For this channel model, the capacity is initially derived. Thereafter, we propose a transmission algorithm to achieve the derived capacity. Further, to support our theoretical results, many numerical examples are presented.

This chapter introduces the concept of Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) wireless communication system and the necessity to use a testbed to evaluate its performance. A comprehensive review of different types of testbeds available in the literature is presented. Next, the design and development of a 2×2 MIMO testbed which uses in-house built antennas, commercially available RF chips for an RF front end and a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) for based signal processing is described. The operation of the developed testbed is verified using a Channel Emulator. The testing is done for the case of a simple Alamouti QPSK based encoding and decoding scheme of baseband signals.

This paper addresses the problem of the effect of different antenna layouts on the capacity of massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) system capacity. Based on the narrow-band, flat fading channel model, the effect of scattering environment and antenna layout are considered by incorporating the power azimuth spectrum (PAS) and the array manifold vector. Under the same antenna aperture, six antenna layouts are investigated among which the UCA yields the best capacity while ULA yields the lowest capacity. The more symmetric the antenna geometry is, the better capacity performance it has.
