Ultra-Wideband Massive MIMO Communications Using Multi-mode Antennas

authored by: P. A. Hoeher, D. Manteuffel, N. Doose, N. Peitzmeier
Abstract: An ultra-wideband system design is presented which supports wireless internet access and similar short-range applications with data rates of the order of 100 Gbps. Unlike concurrent work exploring the 60 GHz regime and beyond for this purpose, our focus is on the 6.0 -8.5 GHz frequency band. Hence, a bandwidth efficiency of about 50 bps/Hz is necessary. This sophisticated goal is targeted by employing two key enabling techniques: massive MIMO communications in conjunction with multi-mode antennas. This concept is suitable both for small-scale terminals like smartphones, as well as for powerful access points. Compared to millimeter wave and THz band communications, the 6.0 -8.5 GHz frequency band offers more robustness in NLOS scenarios and is more mature with respect to system components.
