Abstract

This paper presents recent experimental results from a novel hardware prototype of an outdoor millimeter-wave line-ofsight (LOS) MIMO link. The system architecture establishes multiple parallel data channels using antenna element spacing derived from the principles of diffraction-limited optics. A millimeter-wave carrier frequency reduces the antenna array size to reasonably compact dimensions. In principle, this system architecture is scalable to larger one-dimensional and twodimensional arrays supporting data rates >320Gbps. A twochannel LOS hardware prototype has been constructed and tested in an outdoor environment. The hardware prototype achieved bit error rates (BER) <2x10 -6 for two channels operating at 600Mbps each over a link range of 41m.
