Brief introduction: WiMi is the first 60 GHz testbed with a reconfigurable RF front-end and software defined baseband processing modules. It is intended as an instrument to spur the research in 60 GHz super-high speed communications and fine-grained millimeter-wave sensing applications.
The PI team has developed M-Cube, a massive MIMO mmWave software radio, which is open source and available at low-cost.
