Summary :
This paper reports the evaluation and simulated results of the nonlinear characteristics of the 4.65GHz Active Antenna System (AAS) for 5G mobile communication systems. The antenna element is composed of ±45° dual polarization shared patch antenna, and is equipped with total 64 elements with horizontal 8 × vertical 4 × 2 polarization configuration. A 32-element transceiver circuit was mounted on the back side of the antenna printed circuit board. With the above circuit configuration, a full digital beamforming method has been adopted that can realize high frequency utilization efficiency by using the Sub6GHz-band massive element AAS, and excellent spatial multiplexing performance by Massive MIMO has been pursued. However, it was found that the Downlink (DL) SINR (Signal to Interference and Noise Ratio) to each terminal deteriorated because of the nonlinear distorted radiation as the transmission output power was increased in the maximum rated direction. Therefore, it has been confirmed that the spatial multiplexing performance in the high output power region is significantly improved by installing DPD. In order to clarify the affection of nonlinear distorted radiation on spatial multiplexing performance, the radiation patterns were measured using OFDM signal (subcarrier spacing 60kHz × 1500 subcarriers in 90MHz bandwidth) in an anechoic chamber. And by the simulated analysis for the affection of nonlinear distortion on null characteristic, the accuracy of nulls generated in each user terminal direction does not depend on the degree of nonlinearity, but is affected by the residual amplitude and phase variation among all transmitters and receivers after calibration (CAL). Therefore, it was clarified that the double compensation configuration of DPD and high-precision CAL is effective for achieving excellent Massive MIMO performance. This paper is based on the IEICE Japanese Transactions on Communications (Vol.J102-B, No.11, pp.816-824, Nov. 2019).

Abstract: This paper reports the evaluation and simulated results of the nonlinear characteristics of the 4.65GHz Active Antenna System (AAS) for 5G mobile communication systems. The antenna element is composed of ±45° dual polarization shared patch antenna, and is equipped with total 64 elements with horizontal 8 × vertical 4 × 2 polarization configuration. A 32-element transceiver circuit was mounted on the back side of the antenna printed circuit board. With the above circuit configuration, a full digital beamforming method has been adopted that can realize high frequency utilization efficiency by using the Sub6GHz-band massive element AAS, and excellent spatial multiplexing performance by Massive MIMO has been pursued. However, it was found that the Downlink (DL) SINR (Signal to Interference and Noise Ratio) to each terminal deteriorated because of the nonlinear distorted radiation as the transmission output power was increased in the maximum rated direction. Therefore, it has been confirmed that the spatial multiplexing performance in the high output power region is significantly improved by installing DPD. In order to clarify the affection of nonlinear distorted radiation on spatial multiplexing performance, the radiation patterns were measured using OFDM signal (subcarrier spacing 60kHz × 1500 subcarriers in 90MHz bandwidth) in an anechoic chamber. And by the simulated analysis for the affection of nonlinear distortion on null characteristic, the accuracy of nulls generated in each user terminal direction does not depend on the degree of nonlinearity, but is affected by the residual amplitude and phase variation among all transmitters and receivers after calibration (CAL). Therefore, it was clarified that the double compensation configuration of DPD and high-precision CAL is effective for achieving excellent Massive MIMO performance.
