摘要:

我们研究了均匀平面阵列(UPA)中的波束斜射效应,并提出了一种高效的混合波束成形(HBF)设计,以缓解工作在太赫兹频段的多输入多输出正交频分复用(MIMO-OFDM)系统中的波束斜射。我们首先分析阵列增益,并推导出刻画UPA上波束斜射效应严重程度的闭式波束斜射比。结果表明,该效应在更高的部分带宽下更为严重,而当UPA的形状接近正方形时可以显著缓解。随后,我们聚焦于最大化系统频谱效率的HBF设计。由于模拟波束成形器具有频率平坦特性且受硬件约束,该设计问题颇具挑战性。我们通过提出一种高效的解耦设计克服了这些挑战,其中数字和模拟波束成形器均具有闭式解,从而便于实际实现。数值结果验证了我们的分析,并表明所提出的HBF设计对波束斜射具有鲁棒性,因此在宽带大规模MIMO系统中优于现有最先进方法。

英文摘要:

We investigate the beam squint effect in uniform planar arrays (UPAs) and propose an efficient hybrid beamforming (HBF) design to mitigate the beam squint in multiple-input multiple-output orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (MIMO-OFDM) systems operating at terahertz band. We first analyze the array gain and derive the closed-form beam squint ratio that characterizes the severity of the beam squint effect on UPAs. The effect is shown to be more severe with a higher fractional bandwidth, while it can be significantly mitigated when the shape of a UPA approaches a square. We then focus on the HBF design that maximizes the system spectral efficiency. The design problem is challenging due to the frequency-flat nature and hardware constraints of the analog beamformer. We overcome the challenges by proposing an efficient decoupling design in which the digital and analog beamformers admit closed-form solutions, which facilitate practical implementations. Numerical results validate our analysis and show that the proposed HBF design is robust to beam squint, and thus, it outperforms the state-of-the-art methods in wideband massive MIMO systems.
