Sažetak predavanja:

5G New Radio (NR) provides wireless connectivity for a wide range of new applications having vastly different requirements, such as massive system capacity, low latency and low jitter, high data rates, and low energy consumption. The 5G NR meets these requirements by employing higher frequency bands, massive MIMO transmission, beamforming, and ultra-lean design. Here, we consider beamforming. It utilizes a massive MIMO antenna array to increase the capacity and effectiveness of radio transmissions. The array emits radio signals using highly focused, steerable beams which deliver a stronger radio signal to a greater distance and with less energy. In this lecture, common and advanced array design techniques are presented. Concepts of analog and digital beamforming and beam steering are described. In early development phases, digital parts of radio base systems are designed as RF SoCs and integrated into all-programmable system-on-chip devices. Here, an example of the radio transceiver implementing RF SoC and employing an array having several hundred antennas is given.
