Comparative Study of different beamforming techniques for 5G: A Review

EasyChair Preprint 2308

Abstract

Due to beam forming, there will be increase in energy of signal to intended user and decreases in interference which is the prime requirements of mm wave communications required for  high data rates and large capacity  applications. Different beamforming techniques such as analog, digital, hybrid beam forming along with their associated methods have been studied and compared in this paper for searching optimum architecture in terms of energy efficiency. Antenna parameters like gain, half power beamwidth, scattering parameters are calculated at different frequencies by various authors using tools like ADS, HFSS, MATLAB, CST Microwave studio have been studied. While doing this comparison, both hardware as well as software (algorithms) aspects of the techniques have been considered.

Keyphrases: Antenna, Beamforming, Digital Beamforming, Hybrid beamforming, analog beamforming
