Performance of a 60 GHz Downlink Cellular System with Various Antenna Implementations
Journal Title: International Journal of engineering Research and Applications - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 3
Abstract
The research in 60 GHz band is of a special interest to the upcoming fifth generation (5G) communications. That is due to the large unlicensed bandwidth that may be used for cellular type services. This paper provides a comprehensive Multiple Input Single Output (MISO) downlink system level performance evaluation at 60 GHz carrier frequency. An urban outdoor environment is considered for simulation. Different parameters including path loss, Signal to Interference plus Noise ratio (SINR), throughput, spectral efficiency, and number of antenna elements are evaluated. Furthermore, a comparison between the use of linear and rectangular antenna arrays, cosine and isotropic antenna elements are addressed. From the simulation results, one may conclude that beamforming is essential when operating at such a high frequency. Also, the performance of linear antenna arrays with cosine antenna elements outperforms other implementations.
