Abstract

This paper presents a 2 × 2 multiple-inputmultiple-output over-the-air (MIMO OTA) measurement system with user-programmable, reconfigurable and real-time signal processing field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs)-based software-defined radio (SDR) capability. Signal generation and analysis as well as channel emulation are all implemented using vector signal transceivers (VSTs). As a demonstration, we performed the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) two-stage MIMO OTA conducted test using a downlink time division long-term evolution (TD-LTE) duplex scheme. The channel emulation was operated in a stochastic mode. Some preliminary results of the system verification are shown.
