The functionality of this design is investigated with regard to impedance matching, antenna gain, decoupling level, radiation patterns, and efficiency. In an isolated scenario, Array I achieves 11.7 dB gain, 13.8 dB sidelobe level (SLL), and 99.6% total efficiency at its operating frequency; whereas Array II achieves 11.6 dB gain, 13.6 dB SLL, and 98.9% efficiency.

However, these two multi-carrier techniques suffer from high peak power to average power ratio (PAPR) and loss in bit error rate (BER) performance over challenging scenarios of impulsive noise channels. This paper investigates the performance of these two techniques from BER and PAPR viewpoints in the presence of two well-known impulsive noise models of Middleton Class A and Bernoulli-normal. In the case of BER, the results confirm that the more impulsive noise intensity is increased, the more loss in the BER of both techniques is caused. However, the GFDM technique is more robust against the adverse effects of such noises. In the case of PAPR, although the GFDM performance is worse than OFDM, we remarkably moderate this challenge by employing a precoder at the GFDM transmitter side and a noise mitigation method for its receiver.","PeriodicalId":166329,"journal":{"name":"2022 6th International Conference on Millimeter-Wave and Terahertz Technologies (MMWaTT)","volume":"137 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114755165","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The proposed design is also applicable to base stations located in urban and suburban areas. The idea is also successfully implemented on a substrate integrated waveguide at 28 GHz.
