Due to the continued evolution of 5G standards, the need for higher rates of data, lower latency network access, and implementations that are more energy efficient have become clear. To enable wireless communications at rates over tens of Gbps, the wide bandwidth of mmWave spectrum can be exploited. Beamforming (or...
Multiple-input multiple-output wireless systems promise significant capacity gain
and/or diversity gain over single antenna systems. If channel state information (CSI)
is available at both the transmitter and the receiver, the performance can be further
improved. In this thesis, first, we study binary index feedback problem in beamforming
systems when the...
This research explores the viability and effectiveness of using an inertial navigation system (INS) to control a beamforming array of microstrip patch antennas with the aim of reducing users' exposure to electromagnetic radiation. The system reduces radiated power directed toward a cellular phone user to below 10% of the total...
