November 2017 News for the Microwave and Wireless Engineer

5G Power, Linearity, and Efficiency Prediction for MIMO Arrays Since MIMO array elements are electromagnetically coupled, the waves fed to the antennas also drive the power amplifier (PA) output ports, creating an apparent variable load at each PA output. Simulation is a powerful tool in understanding how these MIMO systems behave. Such simulators should be […]
