Complete baseband-to-RF integration solutions designed to develop MIMO and wireless applications
MIMO systems make up an ever increasing portion of today's wireless communication systems. In a world where constant evolution is a rule, the capacity to rapidly develop and prototype new MIMO applications is essential to profitability.
Lyrtech offers the most versatile and integrated MIMO advanced development solutions on the market, mainly because they can be largely scaled and because of their complete baseband-to-RF integration to the Simulink model-based design tools from The MathWorks.

Success stories
The Generic Hardware Demonstrator for MIMO Systems (GEDOMIS) hosts a real-time implementation of the IEEE 802.16e-2005 physical layer featuring a 2×2 MIMO configuration and a high 20 MHz bandwidth. The algorithms of the mobile WiMAX receiver were modeled with MATLAB, designed with custom VHDL and implemented in FPGA devices operating in real-time using Lyrtech’s VHS-ADC and SignalMaster Quad. The VHDL code was integrated to the target boards with Lyrtech's own BSDK. For details about GEDOMIS, click here.
