Abstract

Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) and Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) have been widely accepted as key techniques of the current and future wireless communication systems. In this paper, an open access MIMO testbed is presented, on which the researchers can demonstrate and evaluate their baseband algorithms over the real wireless channel, without knowing much details about the hardware of the testbed. Moreover, an IEEE 802.11n transmission scheme is implemented as a design example to validate this testbed as well as demonstrate the transmission characteristics of MIMO-OFDM.
