Application Note: Massive MIMO Testing with Channel Emulation

Massive MIMO behavior depends on real-world fading, delay, Doppler, and multi-user dynamics — factors that are costly and difficult to recreate physically. A 5G channel emulator models these propagation effects mathematically, giving you controlled, repeatable conditions to verify receiver performance.

Inside the Application Note, learn how to:

Configure a 64-port gNB array
Integrate 4×4 MIMO UEs
Create realistic fading, delay, and mobility scenarios
Emulate spatial and multi-user conditions for beamforming validation
Measure KPIs such as throughput, SINR, CQI, and beam quality

Use this guide to replicate complex RF environments in the lab — before committing to costly field trials. Please complete the form to download the application note.
