A Real-Time Digital Baseband MIMO Channel Emulation System

This paper presents the implementation of a reconfigurable real-time digital baseband MIMO channel emulator with flexible user interface. The emulator implements several transceiver impairments and a wireless correlated MIMO channel with the help of a novel low-complexity Rayleigh fader design. The rich set of emulated effects and high emulation speed make the proposed system very useful in MIMO baseband transceiver development.
