In this paper, we propose a robust iterative DPD coefficients extraction algorithm based on Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm and spectral extrapolation. By applying this method, the speed of ADC can be reduced significantly and thus save the cost.

By compensating the inductance of the feeding metallic via with a capacitive ring slot on the ground plate, an additional resonance is introduced to the patch mode to expand the bandwidth. To suppress the backward radiation from the slot and enhance antenna gain, a back SIW cavity is designed. Moreover, the low-loss and compact substrate integrated coaxial line (SICL) is employed as the feeding line. The simulated -10/-15 dB impedance bandwidth of the element is 14.9%/11.6% (both at 43 GHz). The introducing of the back cavity and SICL makes the element suitable for large wideband high-gain millimeter-wave arrays with excellent front-to-back ratios (FBRs) and stable radiation patterns on printed circuit boards (PCBs). As an illustrative example, a 2×2 corporately-fed sub-array is developed and tested.

Although LSAS in theory promises large capacity gains at the fraction of the power consumed by the current macro-basestations; there are many practical challenges that need to be overcome before LSAS can be successfully integrated into current and future cellular networks: 1) low-power beamforming algorithms, 2) frequency, amplitude, and phase calibration of asynchronous radios; 3) irregular array beamforming, 4) front-haul data capacity linkage between the LSAS and a C-RAN unit; and 5) standardized measurement procedures.
