چکیده

Usually, multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) testbeds are combined with channel emulators for testing devices and algorithms under controlled channel conditions. In this work, we propose a simplemethodology that allows over-the-air (OTA)MIMO testing using a MIMO testbed solely, avoiding the use of channel emulators. The MIMO channel is emulated by linearly combining the signals at the testbed transmitter. The method is fully flexible, so it is able to emulate any equivalent baseband narrowband MIMO channel by adequately selecting the weights of the linear combination. We derive closed-form expressions for the computation of such weights. To prove its feasibility, the method has been implemented and tested over a commercial MIMO testbed.

Design of Optimal Waveforms in MIMO Radar Systems Based on the Generalized Approach to Signal Processing

We consider the problem of waveform design for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radar systems employing the generalized detector that is constructed based on the generalized approach to signal processing in noise. We investigate the case of an extended target and without limiting ourselves to orthogonal waveforms. Instead, we develop a procedure to design the optimal waveform that maximize...

Estimation of MIMO Transmit-Antenna Number Using Higher-Order Moments Based Hypothesis Testing

This letter proposes a higher-order-moment based hypothesis testing algorithm to estimate the transmit-antenna number for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems. Exploiting the asymptotic normal distribution of the moments composed by noise eigenvalues, the proposed algorithm improves the estimation performance for low signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs). Moreover, since the empirical distribu...

MIMO Radar Ambiguity Optimization using Phase Coded Pulse Waveforms

Multiple input multiple output radars transmit partially coherent or noncoherent waveforms for improving spatial resolution or spatial diversity. While waveform design for SIMO radars concentrate on improving the delay and Doppler resolution characteristics, waveform design for MIMO radars involve optimization of delay, Doppler and spatial resolution characteristics. The resolution properties o...

Theory, Techniques and Validation of Over-the-Air Test Methods for Evaluating the Performance of MIMO User Equipment

Several over-the-air (OTA) test methods have been proposed to characterize the radiated performance of multiple input multiple output (MIMO) devices. Knowing that antenna gain and spatial correlation are important factors to system performance, it has become necessary to include OTA testing of MIMO antenna performance. This paper will discuss three predominant OTA test methods including the two...
