MIMO Performance Diagnosis based on the Radiated Two-Stage (RTS) Method

Abstract

A MIMO system on the receiver side includes two major parts: the antennas and the receivers. Traditional MIMO throughput test evaluates performance of the whole MIMO system on the receiver side, but doesn't reveal any insight on the quality of the MIMO antennas and receivers. Later, test methods are developed based on the RTS method to evaluate MIMO antennas and receivers. However, a complete test flow to diagnose the performance of MIMO antennas and receivers is not yet established. Therefore, in this paper a workflow based on the RTS method is proposed to diagnose MIMO antenna designs and facilitate desense debugging. A test case of a real product is given to validate the workflow.
