In this paper, a millimeter-wave multi-beam antenna is studied by rotating the antipodal linear tapered slot antenna(ALTSA) with respect to a center is successfully designed. In order to lowering the SLL and enhancing the isolation between the ALTSA elements, a row of metallic via is inserted between the ALTSAs. A 9 beams antenna is designed and experimented at Ka band. The measured and simulated results agree well with each other. The antenna can provide horizontal wide angle coverage up to ${\pm}62^{\circ}$. The gain of each beam can achieve about 12.5 dB. The mutual coupling between ports is all below 20 dB.

본 논문에서는 전자전용 재밍 송신기에 사용하기 위해서 개발된 광대역 평면형 능동위상배열 안테나 시스템의 설계 및 제작 그리고 측정 결과를 소개한다. 설계된 시스템은 $45^{\circ}$ slant 광대역 복사소자를 $8{\times}8$ 삼각 배열 구조로 배치하고, 광대역 GaN 반도체 고출력 증폭기와 GaAs 다기능집적회로(MFC)를 적용한 64개의 송신 채널을 구성하여 개발하였다. GaAs다기능집적회로는 광대역에서 빔 편이 현상을 피하기 위한 실시간 지연소자, 디지털 감쇠기 그리고 GaAs 구동증폭기를 포함하고 있어서 송신 빔 조향을 할 수 있으며, 시스템의 전자적 빔 조향 범위는 방위각/고각 방향으로 각각 ${\pm}45^{\circ}/{\pm}25^{\circ}$ 범위에서 가능하다. 개발된 시스템의 송신 빔 패턴 성능을 확인하기 위해 근접 전계 시험 시설을 이용하였다. 전자전용 송신 시스템 빔 패턴 측정 결과, 시스템의 유효방사출력은 목표성능(P) 대비 최대 9.8 dB 이상을 만족하였고, 방위각/고각 방향으로 각각 ${\pm}45^{\circ}/{\pm}25^{\circ}$ 빔 조향 결과 요구성능에 만족함을 확인하였다.

Full Dimension multiple input multiple output (FD-MIMO) architecture employs a planar array design at the Base Station (BS) to provide high order multi-user MIMO (MU-MIMO) via simultaneous data transmission to large number of users. With FD-MIMO, the BS can also adjust the beam direction in both elevation and azimuth direction to concentrate the energy on the user of interests while minimizing the interference leakage to co-scheduled users in the same cell or users in the neighboring cells. In a typical highly populated macrocell environment, modelling the elevation angular characteristics of three-dimensional (3D) channel is critical to understanding the performance limits of the FD-MIMO system. In this paper, we study the throughput performance of FD-MIMO system with varying elevation angular spread and inter-element spacing using a 3D spatial channel model. Our results show that for a typical urban scenario, horizontal beamforming with correlated antenna spacing achieves optimal performance but by restricting the spread of elevation angles of departure, elevation beamforming achieves high array gain with wide inter-element spacing. We also realize significant gains due to spatial array processing via modelling the elevation domain and varying the inter-element spacing for both the transmitter and receiver.
