• Testbed hardware provides a simple method for testing algorithms over the air.
• All baseband processing is on "Baseband Board".
• Interchangeable "Radio Modules" allow different RF bands to be used.
• Up to 4x4 MIMO supported using 2 boards.
• Supports online or offline processing:
  • Write VHDL code for online processing in FPGA
  • Use PC via USB/ethernet to perform processing offline with MATLAB, C, etc.
• Testbeds operating from a single PC have been incorporated into a MATLAB model of 3G LTE system
• Cross platform compatible: Windows, Mac, Linux.
• Usable with a single PC, or multiple PCs

Potential applications:

• Research tool
• Platform for implementation of algorithms
• Undergraduate teaching tool
