Impact of Hardware Impairments on Data-Rates in an Over-the-Air mm-Wave Testbed
Paper i proceeding, 2025
In the era of 5G and emerging 6G technology, there's an increasing demand for advanced communication systems. Innovative testbeds are crucial for rapid development of hardware and algorithms, maximizing performance. Estimation of the capacity potential of mm-wave transceiver arrays is essential to maximise performance, however hardware impairments limit performance. Moreover, rapid experimentation is essential for identifying and addressing potential bottlenecks due to hardware impairments. We investigate the impact of hardware impairments on obtainable signal-to-noise ratios and datarates in a mm-wave testbed using Over- The-Air measurements only. The method is tested using the Chalmers mm-wave testbed MATE at 29.4 GHz.
