The 5G mobile network standard aims to provide a link capable of ten times the speed of previous generations. To achieve this standard there are plenty of new technologies being developed, many of them concerning the physical layer of radio access networks. This final capstone project aims to develop two core technologies that can be used in 5G networks namely OFDM and also MIMO. The physical layer implemented in this project uses CP-OFDM modulation with 10x10 MIMO. The MIMO configuration uses a 2x2 Alamouti coding which are then distributed across five independent channels therefore using ten antennas. The physical layer is implemented on an SDR platform which provides a degree of flexibility. Trials and measurements of the system shows that the sollution falls short of the 5G standard in terms of throughput. However, it is shown that the usage of MIMO will increase the reliability of communication link.
