A convex iterative algorithm for the synthesis of uniform amplitude, space-tapered linear phased arrays with simultaneous multiple beam optimization for 5G applications is presented. The performance of the algorithm is demonstrated by the synthesis of two arrays having 16 and 24 elements with 60 and 90 degree scan range, respectively. The effect...

An iterative convex element position optimization algorithm is proposed for linear phased array synthesis with the aim of minimizing the side lobe level at multiple scan angles in the presence of mutual coupling. Embedded element patterns are obtained via full-wave simulations and integrated into the optimization procedure. A two-step...

The performance of space-tapered multi-beam arrays with minimized side lobe levels is statistically evaluated in a line-of-sight propagation environment within a cell sector in terms of the signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio at the multiple user ends. Comparative analyses are performed to examine the advantages of space-tapered, irregular...

This paper presents a 5G downlink system model for a hybrid multi-user beamforming technique at the base station. The presented technique employs power flux equalization in the elevation plane using a fixed analog cosecant-shaped beam and digital beamforming in the azimuth plane. The system performances of various beamforming algorithms are...

The system effects and trade-offs of varying the minimal angular separation among multiple simultaneous co-frequency users are investigated for a high-capacity multibeam communication scenario. Through the statistical system simulations, it is demonstrated that the optimal (non-zero) value of the required separation depends on the base station...
