The paper describes an antenna path calibration method for (Multiple Input Multiple Output) MIMO systems. In a MIMO system, the RF components used at each transmit/receive antenna path, i.e., uplink versus downlink, do not exhibit similar phase and amplitude responses. Hence, if uplink measurements are used for downlink operations such as beamforming, the incurred distortion results in performance degradation. The proposed scheme relies only on the existing uplink measurements performed by the base-station, and then it provides a feedback to the UE for calibration. It is shown that the overall scheme can be employed for both TDD and FDD systems. |
