A 4 X 4 microstrip planar arrayantenna is assumed to simulate a 4 X 4 Butler matrix to demonstrate orthogonal beam forming andbeam steering. The dimensions of rectangular patches in the planar array are chosen according to theDolph-Chebyshev current distribution in order to minimize the side-lobe level ratio for a givenvalue of beamwidth. The simulations are carried out using an antenna design and analysis softwarePCAAD. It is shown that orthogonal beams can be formed to cover about 163° angle with a constantbeam crossover level and high directivity.展开更多

The 5 G research mainly concentrates on addressing some of the existing OFDM based LTE problems along with use of non-contiguous fragmented spectrum. Universal Filtered Multi Carrier(UFMC) has been considered as one of the candidate waveform for the 5 G communications because it provides robustness against the Inter Symbol Interference(ISI), and Inter Carrier Interference(ICI) and is suitable for low latency scenarios. In this paper, a novel approach is proposed to use Kaiser-Bessel filter based pulse shaping instead of standard Dolph-Chebyshev filter for UFMC based waveform to reduce the spectral leakage into nearby sub-bands. In this paper, UFMC system is simulated using MATLAB software, a comparative study for Dolph-Chebyshev and Kaiser-Bessel filters are performed and the results are also presented in terms of power spectrum density(PSD) analysis, Complementary Cumulative Distribution Function(CCDF) analysis, and Adjacent Channel Power Ratio(ACPR) analysis. The simulated results show a better power spectral density and lower sidebands for UFMC(Kaiser Based window), when compared with UFMC(Dolph-Chebyshev) and conventional OFDM.展开更多
