A Design Concept of Power Efficient, High Gain Antenna System for mm-Waves Base Stations
Paper i proceeding, 2021

A design concept for a phased-array-fed reflector antenna system intended for millimeter-wave base stations is presented. This concept is motivated by the need for efficient beamforming antenna systems with reduced power consumption as compared to the presently considered fully-populated large-scale MIMO arrays. The main idea is to use a high-gain reflector antenna to maximize the effective isotropic radiated power. That in turn, allows minimizing the number of active antenna elements of the phased-array feed, and hence limit the total supplied power. The proposed reflector antenna system is based on a torus reflector which is illuminated by an offset phased-array feed. We show how to determine the antenna design parameters to achieve the desired cell coverage.
