Taking LTE MIMO from Standards to Starbucks

Join Agilent for this four-stop journey exploring the fascinating world of MIMO. The journey begins by explaining the principles that make MIMO work: spatial correlation, precoding and rank adaptation. But rather than rely on mathematical descriptions which can often be a barrier to some, the explanation will be based on some very well understood acoustic phenomena which will help demystify what MIMO is all about. After establishing the basic physics behind MIMO the webcast will move into how the LTE air interface has been designed to allow MIMO to perform at its best.

The third stage in the journey will explain the nature of the LTE MIMO conformance tests. Due to the complexity of the LTE air interface these have been written with many of the more advanced capabilities either simplified or switched off. This open loop approach to testing limits the insight that can be gained into actual mobile performance in real world conditions - something that has to be understood for competitive advantage and operator selection. The final stage in the journey looks at tools that can be used to evaluate MIMO performance in real life conditions including the crucial impact of real antenna design, real fading and closed loop control.
