Multibeam Antenna Modelling and Blockage Impact Mitigation in 5G Millimeter-Wave Bands

This paper discusses a generic approach proposal for modelling multibeam antenna systems for performance prediction characterized by scan loss and half-power beamwidth. The validation with the existing transmitarrays in the Ka and V bands is carried out. Using the proposed antenna model, the advanta...

Description
Summary:This paper discusses a generic approach proposal for modelling multibeam antenna systems for performance prediction characterized by scan loss and half-power beamwidth. The validation with the existing transmitarrays in the Ka and V bands is carried out. Using the proposed antenna model, the advantage of multibeam antenna to alleviate the impact of human blockage in millimeter-wave bands is highlighted. Communication performance is evaluated in terms of block error rate through the implementation of the 5G physical communication chain in a simulation tool.
