The System 2800-MIMO RF Signal Analyzer and System 2900-MIMO RF Signal Generator are high performance MIMO test systems designed to meet the requirements of 802.11n WiFi and 802.16e mobile-WiMAX Wave 2 multi-input, multi-output communications standards. Each system can be configured into two, three, four, or up to eight channels with 40MHz signal bandwidth using the Model 2820 RF Vector Signal Analyzer or Model 2920 RF Vector Signal Generator instruments. These instruments are MIMO-ready with the hardware connections and firmware built into every instrument.


The MIMO systems can be initially configured as a 2×2 system then upgraded at a later date to three four, or up to eight channels by adding standard Model 2820 or Model 2920 instruments. Moreover, the instruments need not be dedicated to a MIMO system. They can be configured for use either in a MIMO system or as stand-alone SISO (single-input, single-output) instruments by selecting the configuration in firmware and changing a few rear-panel cables.


The Model 2895 MIMO Synchronization Unit provides synchronized signals to the system instruments. This gives the system a highly precise and stable alignment between up to eight signal analyzers or signal generators.

SYNC BOX
 
Keithley’s 8×8 MIMO solution uses the Model 2895 synchronization unit, for a smooth upgrade path from existing MIMO systems to 8×8. Whatever size MIMO system you need, you can easily grow your system as needed up to 8×8, using existing instruments and synchronization units and adding more as needed.
 
 
The System 2800-MIMO and System 2900-MIMO can be configured into high-performance two-, three-, four-, or up to eight-channel systems to test WiFi, WiMAX, and other MIMO devices and equipment.
 
 
Precise and stable synchronization is achieved by providing common LO, common clock, and precise trigger signals to all of the signal analyzer or signal generator instruments.
 
 
 

Beam Forming

One of the key benefits of the Keithley Series 2800 Vector Signal Analysers
and Series 2900 Vector Signal Generators are their ability to align RF
energy to specific users by adjusting the phase and amplitude of each
coherent transmitter or receiver for Beam forming. Beam forming research
today is based around developing higher configurations of radios within
devices to truly maximize the amount of services that can be delivered
to a customer. Radio configurations of 8×8 and higher are leading the
way in broadband radio research. Keithley offers the industry’s only phase
coherent measurement grade 8×8 system.
