“…There is 40 a tradeoff in terms of antenna complexity, size, performance, 41 and cost. Electronic steering antennas, mainly phased arrays 42 [1], [4]- [9], allow very fast beam pointing and can be quite 43 compact and low profile; however, the feeding network and 44 required electronics tend to be complex, impacting on termi-45 nal cost and RF efficiency, especially at Ka-band. Despite great 46 advancements to overcome these issues and to reduce the cost 47 [10], mechanical steering antennas tend to be more afford-48 able although bulkier.…”

“…However, it may be disadvanta-51 geous to employ a full-digital beamforming-array architecture that has 52 the same number of RF chains as that of the antenna elements, due to 53 their high cost and high energy consumption. Recently, a hybrid beam-54 forming arrangement, relying on both analog and digital beamformers, 55 has been proposed in [13] and [14]. Here, a high number of antenna 56 elements are divided into beamforming subarrays, where each beam- 57 former is connected to an RF chain.…”

Abstract-A generalized spatial modulation (GSM)-based millimeter-6wave communications system is proposed. The GSM transmitter is char-7 acterized by a lower number of radio frequency (RF) chains than the 8 number of transmit antennas; hence, it is capable of reducing both the 9 transmitter cost and the energy consumption. The antenna array align-10 ment is optimized so as to maximize the rank of the channel matrix 11 encountered. Furthermore, we employ an array of analog beamformers, 12 which allows us to benefit both from the beamforming gain and from the

“…One promising technology is to explore the higher frequency bands. By using large chunks of underutilized spectrum in bands from 30 GHz to 300 GHz, where the available bandwidth can be 200 times more than that used by current cellular networks [2], millimeter-wave (mmW) systems easily enable multi-Gbps wireless communication. Moreover, recent advances in sub-terahertz hardware and digital processing have enabled low-cost mmW commercial chips [3], [4] and thus can strengthen the feasibility of mmW cellular networks.…”

“…Hence for practical implementations, mmW MIMO systems are restricted to a limited number of RF chains relative to that of antenna elements. To address RF hardware constraints, the hybrid RF/baseband precoder architecture [2], [12], [13] is introduced in mmW MIMO systems. The basic premise in the above design of hybrid RF/baseband precoders is the sparsescattering structure of mmW channels.…”

In this paper, we consider the low-cost design for point-to-point millimeter-wave (mmW) multiple-input multipleoutput (MIMO) systems in rainfall environments. We first show that rain does not always have a negative impact on the system performance, provided that accurate instantaneous channel state information (CSI) is available at both the transmitter and receiver. In addition, we propose a practical and low-cost transmission scheme, referred to as hardware-constrained statistical precoding (HC-SP), for mmW MIMO systems in rainfall environments. This scheme only requires statistical channel information at the transmitter and takes into consideration the hardware constraints on transceiver imposed by the high radio-frequency (RF) chain cost. Simulation results demonstrate that the HC-SP scheme allows the mmW MIMO system to have near-optimal performance.
