This paper presents a software defined radio six-port receiver for a novel broadband mobile Communications system. The
prototype covers the frequency range from 0.3 GHz to 6 GHz, and operates with up to lOOMHz-wide channels. The multi-band and multi-mode demodulation capabilities of the six-port architecture have been experimentally demonstrated. The six-port receiver has been satisfactorily proved for high data rates (up to 93.75 Mb/s, limited by the available test instruments). An efficient six-port autocalibration method suitable for large instantaneous bandwidth systems is presented and validated.
