“…The radiation beam of antennas can be steered using various techniques such as integrated lens antenna used at millimeterwaves; however, this approach results in a bulky antenna [3]- [6]. The 1D and 2D beam-scanning at 30 GHz reported in [7] uses a 2×2 substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) antenna array implemented with a combination of couplers and phase shifters to provide a gain of~8.5 dBi.…”

User level performance analysis of multi-hop in-band backhaul for 5G

In recent years, mobile access networks operating at millimeter wavelengths have received a great deal of attention, as they promise previously unattainably high mobile data rates. At these frequencies, mobile access links are expected to use highly directional beamforming antennas, which are also well suited to backhaul links. Therefore, access points can efficiently act as self-backhauled relays by using the same spectrum, circuits and antennas for mobile access and backhaul links, thus forming a multi-hop in-band backhaul network. The contributions of our paper are extensive simulations to investigate user level performance in such multi-hop networks. We specifically take into account the momentary data traffic of every link in order to calculate the interference. Results quantify the detrimental effect of interference on user level performance. Furthermore, the potential benefit of using the combination of in-band and dedicated backhaul links is evaluated. Additionally, this paper investigates the user level effects of the sudden loss of a link in the backhaul mesh network, and underlines the importance of effective rerouting algorithms. The feasibility of the inband concept is demonstrated, and we can confirm that the user level experience will surpass the performance provided by previous generation mobile networks.

“…However, in this case the Nyquist criterion is not fulfilled. There are also some applications requiring multi-beam antennas but with a lower density of detectors like for a lens with an electrically reconfigurable beam shape (Nguyen 2011) or some degree of electrical controlled discrete beam steering (Costa 2008a;Artemenko 2013a;Artemenko 2013b).…”

Dielectric lens antennas are attracting a renewed interest for millimetre-and submillimetre wave applications where they become compact, especially for configurations with integrated feeds usually referred as integrated lens antennas. Lenses are very flexible and simple to design and fabricate, being a reliable alternative at these frequencies to reflector antennas. Lens target output can range from a simple collimated beam (increasing the feed directivity) to more complex multi-objective specifications.This chapter presents a review of different types of dielectric lens antennas and lens design methods. Representative lens antenna design examples are described in detail, with emphasis on homogeneous integrated lenses. A review of the different lens analysis methods is performed, followed by the discuss ion of relevant lens antenna implementation issues like feeding options, dielectric material characteristics, fabrication methods and a few dedicated measurement techniques. The chapter ends with a detailed presentation of some recent application examples involving dielectric lens antennas.
