MIMO Signal Generator
HaLo 430 is a phase coherent 4 channel arbitrary waveform generator. Signals can be easily generated with MATLAB and transmitted via HaLo.430.
MIMO Signal Analysis
HaLo 430 is a phase coherent 4 channel signal recorder. Signals can be easily recorded and down-converted with HaLo430. The baseband signal can then be analyzed with MATLAB.
HaLo 430 Applications
System Prototyping
Use HaLo 430 to set-up demonstrations of MIMO radio technology, to verify theoretical simulations in realistic environments, and to conduct proof-of-concept trials without to do complex real-time-implementations yourself.
Channel Measurement
HaLo 430 offers simple means to measure instantaneous 4×4 MIMO channel characteristics. Complex channel evaluation, statistics and parameter estimation can be done using MATLAB.
Student Lab Course
Due to its simplicity HaLo430 has proven to be an outstanding tool for student lab courses. Benefit from Signalion’s example data base and enhance your lectures with hands-on experience.
Features
Principle:
HaLo 430 is completely controlled via MATLAB. Arbitrary MIMO-signals can be simulated in MATLAB and transmitted via HaLo 430. Such signal bursts are periodically transmitted until transmission is stopped (via MATLAB). Captures of the received signals can be triggered by the user or automatically within a defined interval. A synchronization between the transmitter and receiver is possible. Furthermore, complex analysis of the received signal (spectrum, decoding, statistics, ect.) can be done by the user using MATLAB functionality. HaLo 430 can be integrated into complex wireless system simulations within MATLAB. The export of the signals is also possible via standard MATLAB functions.
Connectivity:
HaLo offers Plug & Play interconnection to any PC via USB 2.0 with any Windows-PC.
Application Programming Interface (API):
An ‘easy to use’ API enables seamless integration of the hardware into your simulation environment just by means of two simple functions (halo_transmit, halo_receive). Beside MATLAB/Simulink, C is supported as well by the API.
