Effect of Element Number Reduction on Inter-User Interference and Chip Temperatures in Passively-Cooled Integrated Antenna Arrays for 5G

The impact of reducing the total number of elements in passively-cooled, chip-integrated and space-tapered 5G base station antenna arrays on inter-beam interferences and chip temperatures is investigated for multi-user spacedivision-multiple-access applications. A convex element position optimization algorithm is used to synthesize the array...
