Simplified spatial division analog beamforming based on Fourier rotman lens

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingsChapterpeer-review

Abstract

Spatial multiplexing is a way to increase a capacity of modern wireless systems by decomposing the spatial domain in several independent channels. As a beamforming network, a hybrid architecture can be used that enables reduction of the number of RF transceiver channels and using a low-dimensional digital base-band signal processing. Fourier Rotman Lens, which provides beam patterns orthogonality, can be used as an analog part of the hybrid beamforming network, which can be modified by using additional power dividers to decrease the number of lens array ports. The simulated radiation patterns are discussed for different values of the number of outputs ports. The results of simulations have been verified by far-field measurements.
