Abstract

En 中文
Plane Wave Generator (PWG) has attracted great research interest in the industry and academia for sub-6 GHz massive MIMO base station (BS) measurement, thanks to its low-cost and smaller system setup. One major concern in the small setup is its high reflectivity level inside the anechoic chamber, which might distort the quiet zone performance significantly. Meanwhile, it is critical that the quiet zone performance is insusceptible to system inaccuracies. However, these two aspects are largely overlooked in the plane wave synthesis (PWS) study in the literature. In this article, a new PWS strategy is proposed based on parametrized field distribution over an enlarged sampling area. The proposed method offers robust design and low reflectivity level. The effectiveness and robustness of the proposed PWS strategy is demonstrated in a numerical simulation.
