Radiation Pattern Verification of Active Antenna Systems Using Near-Field Measurements
Abstract:Fifth-generation (5G) new radio and commercial networks are currently deployed by telecommunication service providers around the globe. A 5G active antenna system (AAS) consists of a passive antenna array, a transceiver front end, and a baseband unit-all integrated into a single module. As a consequence, the radio frequency ports of traditional base station antennas can be replaced with an Ethernetbased interface. New methods are needed to verify and optimize the antenna performance under these conditions. In … Show more
