Abstract

This chapter introduces the concept of Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) wireless communication system and the necessity to use a testbed to evaluate its performance. A comprehensive review of different types of testbeds available in the literature is presented. Next, the design and development of a 2×2 MIMO testbed which uses in-house built antennas, commercially available RF chips for an RF front end and a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) for based signal processing is described. The operation of the developed testbed is verified using a Channel Emulator. The testing is done for the case of a simple Alamouti QPSK based encoding and decoding scheme of baseband signals.
