Analog-Digital Beam Focusing for Line of Sight Wide-Aperture MIMO with Spherical Wavefronts (2404.04842v1)

Published 7 Apr 2024 in cs.IT, eess.SP, and math.IT

Abstract: Enhancing high-speed wireless communication in the future relies significantly on harnessing high frequency bands effectively. These bands predominantly operate in line-of-sight (LoS) paths, necessitating well-configured antenna arrays and beamforming techniques for optimal spectrum utilization. Maximizing the potential of LoS multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems, which are crucial for achieving high spectral efficiency, heavily depends on this. As the costs and power demands of mixed-signal devices in high frequency bands make a fully-digital architecture impractical for large-scale MIMO setups, our focus shifts to a hybrid analog-digital hardware configuration. Yet, analog processors' limitations restrict flexibility within arrays, necessitating a nuanced understanding of hardware constraints for optimal antenna configuration design. We explore array design that optimizes the spectral efficiency of hybrid systems, considering hardware constraints. We propose an optimal antenna configuration, leveraging the prolate matrix structure of the LoS channel between two planar arrays. Building on the optimal array configuration, we introduce a low-complexity explicit analog-digital beam focusing scheme that exploits the asymptotic behavior of the LoS channel matrix in the near-field region. Simulation results validate that the proposed antenna configuration and beam focusing scheme achieves near-optimal performance across a range of signal-to-noise ratios with low computational complexity, even under arbitrary rotations relative to the communication link.
