    Abstract: A multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO) bolt-on device for a single-input and single-output (SISO) radio, a MIMO channel emulator for testing the MIMO bolt-on device, and a MIMO channel emulation method are provided. The MIMO bolt-on device includes: a plurality of antennas, a multi-channel receiver, a plurality of couplers, a micro-controller, and a switch device. The multi-channel receiver includes a plurality of channels for signal transmission. Each coupler is configured to couple the multi-channel receiver with one of the plurality of antennas. The micro-controller is coupled to the multi-channel receiver to compare signals from the plurality of channels, thereby identifying a channel with a highest signal-to-noise (SNR) among the plurality of channels. The switch device is coupled to the micro-controller and configured to select an antenna corresponding to the channel with the highest SNR among the plurality of antennas for a connection between a selected antenna and the SISO radio.

    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a gated range scanning linear frequency modulated continuous wave (LFMCW) radar structure, including: a frequency synthesizer, a first mixer, a second mixer, a first filter, and a third mixer. The frequency synthesizer is configured for generating a first local oscillating signal and a second local oscillating signal, a frequency of the first local oscillating signal varying in a frequency range, each frequency corresponding to a sub-range of a coverage range scanned by the LFMCW radar structure. The first mixer is configured for mixing a copy of a transmitted signal and the first local oscillating signal to generate a first output signal (the receiver's first local oscillator). The second mixer is configured for mixing the first output signal and a received signal from a receiving antenna to generate a second output signal that includes an intermediate frequency (IF) signal being received by the first filter.
