Abstract

A base station scanner that can evaluate MIMO antennas for LTE downlink signaling has been proposed. In this system, all signal processing is done offline, so analysis is significantly delayed. Further, only FDD-LTE is supported. This report details a coherent base station scanner that offers real-time demodulation of not only FDD but also TDD. Experiments on LTE signals using both duplex modes confirm that the developed scanner offers excellent performance and reduced post analysis times.
