On the Impact of Antenna Topologies for Massive MIMO Systems
Approximate expressions for the spatial correlation of cylindrical and
uniform rectangular arrays (URA) are derived using measured distributions of
angles of departure (AOD) for both the azimuth and zenith domains. We examine
massive multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) convergence properties of the
correlated channels by considering a number of convergence metrics. The
per-user matched filter (MF) signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR)
performance and convergence rate, to respective limiting values, of the two
antenna topologies is also explored.Comment: 6 pages, 6 figure
