Abstract

The paper briefly compares the architecture of commonly used channel sounders for single input multiple output (SIMO) and multiple input multiple output (MIMO) applications. The architecture of a novel dual UMTS band parallel receiver sounder developed for the purposes of such studies is outlined. The performance of the sounder from back-to-back measurements and calibration considerations are discussed. Outdoor SIMO measurements and indoor/outdoor MIMO measurements obtained with different antenna arrays demonstrate its capability.
