Abstract :
The design and implementation of an accurate and low complexity MIMO channel emulator is presented in this paper. A mathematical analysis is used to verify the accuracy of the emulator over a wide range of SNRs (0 - 35 dBs). The complexity of the emulator is reduced by preprocessing of the channels and hardward/software partitioning. All 802.11n channel models can be emulated on our platform. A 3×4 10MHz version of the emulator is successfully running on a Virtex-II XC2V6000-4 FPGA. A 20MHz version was synthesized and simulated on an XC2V6000-6 FPGA.
