LTE MIMO Beamforming on Ray Tracing Channels

Model transmission of an LTE signal over a ray tracing channel using LTE and Phased Array System Toolbox™. The singular value decomposition (SVD) of the channel matrix provides the beamforming matrix for the transmitter and the receiver, and you can explore the relationship between angles or departure, angles of arrival, and radiation patterns for the transmit and receive antennas. The performance gain from beamforming is simulated for a various number of antennas, a number of scatterers in the channel, and carrier frequencies up to 60GHz, based on EVM measurement of the receive signal.
