Abstract

A smart phone subscriber needs wide bandwidth services for more fast data communication on the internet. The conventional MIMO system is now developing to resolve these problems with limited device space for antenna and frequency band environment reserved. One of way to make it practically is to add the number of antennas theoretically. But it is difficult to increase the antenna element as a limited space on the system. Therefore an active beam forming scheme is known as a way of constructing a Compact MIMO system for that. In this paper, the fast switching control block was suggested to adjust a reactance of the antenna element and verified experimentally the effects by switching signal on an orthogonal beam forming through a spatial domain.

이동통신망 사용자는 인터넷 서비스를 위해 빠른 데이터 전송 및 넓은 대역폭을 필요로 한다. 기존의 MIMO 시스템은 주어진 환경에서 광대역서비스를 위한 방법으로 안테나의 개수를 수요 대역 만큼 계속 추가하는 것인데, 이 방법은 이동통신 단말기의 제한된 공간으로 계속적인 추가가 어렵다. 이는 추가되는 안테나간 간격을 사용주파수의 파장만큼 거리를 두어야 하는 공간적 제한 때문이다. 컴팩트 MIMO 기술은 이를 해결하는 방법으로 등장하고 있으며, 액티브 안테나 주변에 가변 리액턴스 값을 갖는 PE(parasitic element)를 두어 하나의 안테나 구성으로 다수 안테나의 효과를 얻는 방법이다. 이때 가변 리액턴스를 제어하기 위해 사용되는 회로의 구성 및 간섭에 강인한 스위칭 속도를 갖는 제어회로가 요구된다. 본 논문에서는 리액턴스 제어를 위한 스위칭 블록을 제안하고, 이 방법에 의한 빔의 영향을 분석하였다.
