Multi-User MIMO Channel Emulator with Automatic Channel Sounding Feedback
Summary :
Wireless channel emulators are used for the performance evaluation of wireless systems when actual wireless environment test is infeasible. The main contribution of this paper is the design of a MU-MIMO channel emulator capable of sending channel feedback automatically to the access point from the generated channel coefficients after the programmable time duration. This function is used for MU beamforming features of IEEE 802.11ac. The second contribution is the low complexity design of MIMO channel emulator with a single path implementation for all MIMO channel taps. A single path design allows all elements of the MIMO channel matrix to use only one Gaussian noise generator, Doppler filter, spatial correlation channel and Rician fading emulator to minimize the hardware complexity. In addition, single path implementation allows the addition of the feedback channel output with only a few additional non-sequential elements which would otherwise double in a parallel implementation. To demonstrate the functionality of our MU-MIMO channel emulator, we present actual hardware emulator results of MU-BF receive signal constellation on oscilloscope.
