An Evaluation of Distortion and Interference Sources originating Within a Millimeter-wave MIMO Testbed for 5G Communications

Abstract

This paper presents an evaluation of distortion and interference sources, namely, the harmonic distortion and antenna crosstalk, originating within a 2 x 2 millimeter-wave (mm-wave) multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) testbed. The experience gained through the insight into the built testbed could be fed into the design of future mm-wave massive MIMO testbeds.Comment: 2nd URSI Atlantic Radio Science Meeting (URSI AT-RASC 2018
