A millimeter-wave phased array-aided 5G communication prototype: Evaluation in an indoor scenario

In this paper, a millimeter-wave (mmWave) 5G communication prototype composed of a phased-array antenna and a transceiver is proposed. The prototype involves a custom-manufactured planar active phased-array antenna featuring linear polarization, which incorporates a beamforming integrated circuit (B...

The prototype involves a custom-manufactured planar active phased-array antenna featuring linear polarization, which incorporates a beamforming integrated circuit (BFIC) comprising an 8 × 8-element planar array. The 27 GHz transceiver is a prototype fabricated with off-the-shelf components and designed to downconvert/upconvert signals from 3.5 GHz to 27 GHz. Additionally, a 3GPP-inspired gNodeB based on the FR2 5G signal, which introduces a phase tracking reference signal (PT-RS) and implements a phase noise cancellation (PNC) algorithm in the user equipment (UE) node, was emulated. A measurement campaign in an indoor scenario, including validation using commercial equipment and a comparison with a passive antenna for the Q-PSK and 16-QAM modulation schemes has been carried out.
