5G基站天线面临的电磁兼容问题及对策

目前,5G移动通信已初步实现商用。一方面,由于2G、3G、4G和5G系统兼容使用,导致上述系统的基站天线需共存使用,因此加剧了数量庞大的基站天线与日益紧张的站址资源之间的矛盾。另一方面,为了实现5G信号的高效覆盖,5G基站天线系统采用大规模MIMO阵列,需要在有限的空间布置上百个天线单元。这势必会导致基站运营成本的增加。为了减少基站的数量,并降低基站的运营成本,业内一个有效的方法是使用多频段多阵列共口径基站天线,即通过紧凑的阵列布局,将2G、3G、4G、5G频段的天线阵列一体化,共用一个反射板和天线罩。

Complete RF system model for analysis of compact MIMO arrays

A framework to analyze compact arrays for multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) is presented. Many handheld devices require very compact arrays. Small spacings between the antennas lead to mutual coupling, which decreases the efficiency of the antennas and therefor the signal-to-noise ratio and leads to correlated signals at the antennas. Both effects are completely taken into account in this framework; thus, it allows for a fair comparison of different antenna arrays for MIMO. It is distinguished between MIMO systems for multiplex transmission or pure beamforming, which have different requirements for the antennas. Different compact array configurations, which exploit spatial, polarization, and pattern diversity, are discussed and compared. For practical purposes, it is also shown how to connect this framework to standard path-based channel models.     

太赫兹超大规模3D MIMO系统中的波束斜视补偿技术

太赫兹通信技术凭借超大带宽的优势成为未来6G的关键技术之一。超大规模天线技术可以提供巨大的空间分集,提升频谱效率,同样在6G无线通信系统中起到关键作用。在基于移相器的大规模MIMO（multiple-input multiple-output）混合预编码中,由于太赫兹频段的超大带宽,不同频率的子载波信道具有不同的等效空间方向,发射端波束形成时,将带来严重的波束斜视问题。与此同时,随着天线规模的不断增长,超大规模天线技术的应用更进一步扩大了波束斜视造成的影响。针对超大规模天线阵列带来的波束斜视现象放大问题,本文利用3D MIMO平面天线阵列来改善这一状况。为进一步改善太赫兹频段超大带宽引起的波束斜视,在3D大规模MIMO系统的基础上,本文提出了基于两层移相器结构的混合预编码方案,利用第二层移相器,对不同频率的子载波进行补偿。实验结果表明,本方法可以有效地弥补波束斜视带来的阵列增益损失,实现接近最优的系统性能。      

Beam-Steerable Ultra-Wide-Band Miniaturized Elliptical Phased Array Antenna Using Inverted-L-Shaped Modified Inset Feed and Defected Ground Structure for 5G Smartphones Millimeter-Wave Applications

Multi Input Multi Output (MIMO) and phased array systems are considered a key technologies to realize the 5G communication systems. Therefore, the purpose of this research is the suggestion of a novel mm-wave Ultrawide Band (UWB) antenna design with compact and straightforward layout suitable for both MIMO and phased array systems. Hence, the designed antenna array has been studied separately as a MIMO antenna and as a phased array antenna to carefully assess the performance of each system. The single antenna design is an elliptical patch antenna where the design novelty lies in the combination of a modified inset-feed and defected ground structure to provide a large bandwidth without any compromise in the radiation performance, nor in antenna size and design simplicity. The Design process are performed using CST MWS software, where the Rogers RT/Duroid 5880 substrate is chosen to construct the antenna. A broadband characteristic of 8.7 GHz from 26 to 34.7 GHz with two resonant frequencies at 28 GHz and 33 GHz is obtained. A good radiation properties are achieved, where the gain is greater than 4.5 dB while the radiation efficiency exceeds 97% over the operating band. The MIMO and phased array antennas are made up of 12-elements of the single UWB-antenna arranged linearly along the width-edge of the smartphone mainboard. The MIMO antenna proves a high diversity performance in terms of Diversity Gain (DG), Envelope Correlation Coefficient (ECC), Total Active Reflection Coefficient (TARC), Channel Capacity Loss (CCL) and Mean Effective Gain (MEG), owing to the low mutual coupling less than ??20 dB, which is obtained using a separating slits between the elements. In addition, the suggested phased array provides a highly stable gain up to 15 dB over the entire bandwidth at broadside direction, besides the wide scanning range of?±?60° at 28 GHz and?±?40° at 33 GHz. Hence, the attained results assure that the suggested antenna could be appropriate for incorporation in 5G smartphones and other wireless devices and can be effectively used for both phased array and MIMO applications.

     

Asymptotic Ergodic Capacity of Multidimensional Vector-Sensor Array MIMO Channels

We analyze asymptotic ergodic capacity of multidimensional vector-sensor array MIMO (PMD-MIMO) channels established by the use of dual-polarized antennas in the form of 1D, 2D and/or 3D MIMO arrays. Based on the identification of the decomposition of PMD-MIMO channels into multiple independently-fading and scaled classical MIMO channels in parallel, we consequently derive corresponding asymptotic ergodic capacities analytically via tools out of free probability theory. The analysis of derived asymptotic ergodic capacity expressions in terms of antenna locus aspect ratio ?, average symbol SNR per antenna ˉ?s and cross-polar discrimination XPD as well as comparison with asymptotic ergodic capacity of classical MIMO channels present important gains in using compact multidimensional vector-sensor array MIMO systems in asymptotic regimes.

THz antennas design,developments, challenges,and applications: A review

Terahertz (0.1–10 THz) wireless communication will be the future technology to reach a top-notch data rate. THz is one of the most promising candidates for 6G systems because it provides enormous bandwidth, up to 100 GHz, and a massive data rate of up to 1 Tbps. THz antennas, antenna arrays, and MIMO antenna arrays in 6G are hot research topics for implementing 6G wireless communication systems. The 6G aims to continue to enhance the features of the 5G as it is capable of achieving the maximum high-speed data rate, excellent reliable communication, massive connectivity, and very low latency connectivity. The 6G requirements need high-gain antenna arrays and MIMO antenna arrays to combat the effect of atmospheric losses in high frequencies. An in-depth discussion of the planar THz antennas that have been extensively used in THz applications like imaging, sensing, and Internet-of-Things (IoT) has been conducted. The study of the THz antennas, antenna arrays, and MIMO antennas on different conducting materials such as copper and graphene, which are designed on different dielectric substrates such as polyimide, quartz, liquid crystalline polymer, and polytetrafluoroethylene, has been carried out in detail. Metamaterial, photoconductive, plasmonic antennas, and THz beamforming are significant parts of THz communications. This paper also provides antennas and antenna arrays based on them.
