Abstract

The FDD method is normally used for the stability of the Tx and the Rx links in a fast-varying channel. It is required to physically separate the Tx and Rx arrays for independent Tx and Rx beam control. In this system, it is important to reduce the Tx self-interference (SI) that causes the problem of active element saturation and ADC dynamic range in the Rx beamformer. To suppress Tx SI, we proposed two simple techniques. The first is the general soft-surface which attenuates the surface current flow from the Tx tile array to the Rx array. The second is the sub-array structure of the Rx hybrid beamforming system. Based on the Cauchy–Schwartz inequality, the electrical sum by the sub-array acts as a destructive interference of the complex SI signals, and it can be shown as an additional isolation effect. The proposed idea was validated through measurement.
