The UC4G wireless MIMO testbed

This paper presents a wireless multiple-input/multiple-output (MIMO) testbed for the UK-China Science Bridges Project: R&D on Beyond Fourth Generation (B4G) Wireless Mobile Communications (UC4G). An introductory review of other approaches is first presented and then subsequently the motivation, architecture and specifications of the UC4G testbed are outlined. The flexibility of operation, versatility of function and modular design of the UC4G testbed are shown to be its key benefits.
