In this publication the concept of the enhanced six-port receiver is proven by measurements of a hardware demonstrator. The enhanced six-port architecture has been proposed for simultaneous data reception and angle of arrival estimation with only one receiver front-end. It offers high positioning accuracy and high bandwidth combined with low circuit complexity. Up to now the concept has only been introduced and validated by system simulations. In this publication measurements of a hardware setup will be presented for the first time proving the functionality and performance of this new and promising architecture.
