  • Abstract
    A step-by-step approach to build a very low cost automated measurement setup for MIMO systems is presented in this paper. The price of the system can be lowered to $500 by reusing specific hardware elements. The performance of the setup is also evaluated with results obtained from an indoor environment measurement campaign conducted at UCI Radiofrequency laboratory.
