The NPL requirement is to have a wideband multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) radio frequency (RF) vector-based testbed system that is capable of enabling real-time software-defined-radio (SDR) operation. The purpose is to establish a MIMO over-the-air (OTA) measurement testbed system with user-programmable, reconfigurable and real-time signal processing field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs)-based SDR capability. The system should have flexible software-designed architecture for real-time signal processing and control that can adapts new radio (NR) standards and emerging protocols so to enable the traceable measurement metrology development for current and future wireless communications to address measurement challenges on NR RF signal design and communication algorithm. The asset must consist of at least a 2 x 2 MIMO system with high-speed digital interfaces that could handle instantaneous wide bandwidth data.
