Experimental verification of space-time algorithms using the smart antenna software radio test system (SASRATS) platform

This work covers the experimental verification of 2 space-time (ST) algorithms on the smart antenna software radio test system (SASRATS) platform . This work also covers the concept and architecture of SASRATS, which was designed and developed to facilitate the field testing of ST processing architectures and algorithms. The paper covers the experimental verification of two robust ST algorithms developed by the authors for signal enumeration and channel order estimation. Simulation results are also presented and compared with the experimental results obtained on the SASRATS platform.
