Hardware in a loop-a system prototyping platform for MIMO-approaches

The hardware in a loop concept is introduced for the design of wireless communication chipsets. The aim is to verify the algorithm design followed by extensive software simulations of the proposed algorithms. Signalion provides a rapid prototyping platform to enable this algorithm verification on a hardware. This approach helps to identify design errors and implementation faults. The hardware platform can be used for complex PHY implementations such as MIMO-OFDM modems.
