In this paper, a self-interference cancellation method is contemplated to remove the self-interference signal using the pilot-based channel estimation technique in MIMO full-duplex system. Since the most prominent issue in implementing MIMO full-duplex system is both hardware nonlinearities and signal interference. The proposed approach is utilized to significantly cope with self-interference due to other channels in the same chip of the MIMO system. Specifically, we offer a two-step procedure to estimate the channel between the desired output and signal of interest and the channel with desired output and an interfering signal. In the next step, perform self-interference cancellation. Numerical evaluation of the technique shows that the bit-error rate was reduced from an order of 10-1 to an order of 10-4, and the error vector magnitude was reduced from -6dB to a value of-35 dB.

We present a model and measured data to assess the uncertainties in scattering-parameter measurements due to noise floor and trace noise in the receivers of a vector network analyzer operating in the WR-15 waveguide band.

This paper presents a new probe system for measuring the scattering parameters of surface mount devices in radio frequency range in response to the demand for operating power devices at higher frequencies. Two ground-source probes with 3.7 mm pitch and a probe station for controlling these probes were designed as original components of the proposed system. When used with a commercially available vector network analyzer, a de source supply, two bias-Ts, and cables, the scattering parameters with the de bias voltage supplied can be measured. This is a pioneer probe measurement system for surface mount devices in the power electronics operated at the radio frequencies. Because the probes can be used in direct contact with a surface mount device under test, precise measurement results can be obtained. The evaluation results for the stability of the developed system and contact reproducibility are also presented. Around the low reflection area, the stability of the system and the contact reproducibility of the magnitude of S11 were less than 0.00007 from 50 kHz to 300 MHz. However, these values increased at the frequencies over 1 GHz. It is confirmed that probe control is important in probe measurements especially at high frequency range.

This paper demonstrates a contactless in-situ planarity adjustment of a ground-signal-ground (GSG) probe on practical planar devices. The proposed technique completes the adjustment with minimizing footprints on the devices. Furthermore, repeatability of tilt angle was 0.6 degrees, which was compatible to a conventional manual inspection technique. No footprint was observed after the adjustment process. The proposed technique can realize in-situ planarity adjustment just above a device-under-test (DUT).
