本文提出了一种软件定义的毫米波无线电架构，该架构使用用于 5G/B5G 波束成形系统的模块化/可控天线像素。所提出的相控阵的操作机制在概念上类似于现场可编程门阵列（FGPA）板的操作机制。所提出的概念不仅支持几乎无限的辐射模式，而且与当前现有的毫米波波束成形架构完全兼容。所提出的概念可以使用低温共烧陶瓷工艺模块化扩展为二维结构，如 4 × 4 阵列所示。该概念验证模型具有从 513 种理论上可用的模式中选择的具有不同波束转向角度的多种偏振。
This paper presents a software-defined mm Wave radio architecture using modular/controllable antenna pixels for 5G/B5G beamforming systems. The operating mechanism of the proposed phased array is conceptually analogous to that of a field programmable gate array (FGPA) board. The proposed concept not only supports almost infinite radiation modes, but is fully compatible with the currently existing mmWave beamforming architecture. The proposed concept can be modularly expanded into a two-dimensional structure exemplified in the 4 × 4 array using a low temperature co-fired ceramic process. The proof-of-concept model features multiple polarizations with different beamsteering angle selected from 513 theoretically available modes.
