Rohde & Schwarz – Multiple antenna systems, known as MIMO systems, form an essential part of today’s wireless communications standards. The multi-antenna technology efficiently boosts the data throughput without requiring additional bandwidth or transmit power and has thus become a key technology. Rohde & Schwarz offers compact and versatile MIMO test solutions with realtime fading including simulation of channel correlations. This application note explains how to set up Rohde & Schwarz signal generators for 2×2, 4×2 and 2×4 MIMO tests with a focus on signal routing, synchronization of the generators, and leveling.
