Microcontroller-based multiple-input multiple-output transmitter systems
Multiple-Input Multiple_output (MIMO) Systems use multiple antennas at both the transmitter and receiver to increase data throughput and/or system reliability. An MIMO transmitter can be implemented using a variety of approaches. This work describes some of the approaches that can be used to generate the transmitted waveforms, and discuss the features and limitation of each. In particular, it shows haw a microcontroller-based system can be used for applications which require low power consumption. This thesis also describes the high-level design of a microcontroller-based MIMO transmitter. The computational speed of the microcontroller, as compared to Field-programmable Gate Array (FPGA) and Digital Signal Processors (DSP), coupled with other additional tasks which it may need to handle limit the transmitted data-rate. However, this low power and low cost design may make it attractive for some applications --Abstract, page iii

Microcontroller Based Multiple-Input Multiple-Output Transmitter
ITC/USA 2010 Conference Proceedings / The Forty-Sixth Annual International Telemetering Conference and Technical Exhibition / October 25-28, 2010 / Town and Country Resort & Convention Center, San Diego, CaliforniaThis paper describes how a microcontroller based system can be used to generate the signals needed in a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) system transmitter. The limited computational speed of the microcontroller, along with other tasks which the controller may need to handle, places limits on the throughput of the system, and the complexity of the MIMO signal design. However this can be a low cost design, and the microcontroller can be used to perform other operations in the system, which may make it attractive in some applications.International Foundation for TelemeteringProceedings from the International Telemetering Conference are made available by the International Foundation for Telemetering and the University of Arizona Libraries.
