Abstract

An OFDM-MIMO testbed based on a SDR platform with very flexible antenna positioning system has been designed and presented for WLAN applications. Antenna positioning allows the proper spatial characterization of radio channel links in real scenarios where future wireless networks will be deployed. Some measurements in real indoor scenarios proving reconfigurable antennas are been carried out leading to some interesting results that will be presented in the conference.
