摘要翻译:
Massive MIMO被认为是5G的关键技术。各种研究分析了天线数量的影响,仅依赖于信道特性,并假设在非常大的阵列中均匀的天线增益。本文研究了互耦和边缘效应对阵列增益方向图变化的影响。我们的分析集中在贴片天线与偶极子天线的比较上,偶极子天线是当今massive MIMO实验中典型使用的天线。通过仿真和测量,我们发现有限贴片阵列比偶极子阵列具有更小的增益方向图变化。大的增益方向图变化对massive MIMO系统的影响是,并非所有天线对所有用户的贡献相等,并且单个用户看到的有效天线数减少。结果表明,在系统级上,强迫零MIMO检测器对所有用户的影响是降低率,贴片阵列和偶极子阵列的降低率分别为20%和35%。而最大比例合并则引入了用户的不公平。

英文摘要:
Massive MIMO is considered a key technology for 5G. Various studies analyze the impact of the number of antennas, relying on channel properties only and assuming uniform antenna gains in very large arrays. In this paper, we investigate the impact of mutual coupling and edge effects on the gain pattern variation in the array. Our analysis focuses on the comparison of patch antennas versus dipoles, representative for the antennas typically used in massive MIMO experiments today. Through simulations and measurements, we show that the finite patch array has a lower gain pattern variation compared with a dipole array. The impact of a large gain pattern variation on the massive MIMO system is that not all antennas contribute equally for all users, and the effective number of antennas seen for a single user is reduced. We show that the effect of this at system level is a decreased rate for all users for the zero-forcing MIMO detector, up to 20% for the patch array and 35% for the dipole array. The maximum ratio combining on the other hand, introduces user unfairness.
