Modeling of massive MIMO transceiver antenna for full-duplex single-channel system (in case of self interference effect)

Abstract

Massive MIMO technology can increase capacity, data rate, and link reliability significantly without additional bandwidth or transmission power. Most of the previous study on Massive MIMO systems are using low frequency (2.6 GHz). This frequency is not suitable for future broadband technology, because IoT devices will use high frequency and possible cell coverage would be smaller. This work proposes Massive MIMO transceiver antenna that can be implemented in high frequency (60 GHz). This system provides broadband wireless communication which gives high capacity, high data rate and wide bandwidth. In this works the number of antennas is 64×64. Antennas can be set adaptively to capacity. In this case all of the antennas as a receiver are functioned to get redundancies and 32 antennas as transmitter adjusted to the required capacity. Configuration of antenna has been set to eliminate the mutual coupling effect. The system utilizes full duplex single channel (FDSC) which use the same frequency and time to transmit and receive data. In FDSC, bandwidth can be minimized, but self interference effect appeared and disturbing the system performance of Massive MIMO. The effect of self interference for Massive MIMO transceiver antenna simulated from 10% to 100%. The proposed system provides the channel capacity ≈ 390 bits/s/Hz or ≈ 39× spectral efficiency of SISO system. The simulation result shows that mutual coupling effect ≈ 0. The Massive MIMO have a tolerance of 20% self interference effect, however it could decrease 20% channel capacity as well.
