Abstract
With large bandwidths, millimeter wave (mmWave) line-of-sight (LoS) multi-input multi-output (MIMO) technology employing parallel stream transmission is well suited for future wireless backhaul systems. However, hardware imperfections of mmWave transceivers cause additional signal processing challenges. Considering the channel and hardware properties, this paper proposes a novel frame structure with high temporal efficiency. The required MIMO processing can be decomposed into two steps. The first one removes the interantenna interference including the carrier frequency offsets. In the second step, the intersymbol interference brought by the frequency-selective components is canceled with a parallel structure. As a comparison, a more general decision-directed least-mean-square approach (DD-LMS) for joint processing of all effects is introduced. With a 60 GHz 2 × 2 LoS MIMO demonstrator, only the widely linear version of DD-LMS achieves performance of about 0.2-0.6 dB better than the proposed method but requires approximately four times more complexity. The proposed method with parallel processing chains is well suited especially for larger LoS MIMO systems, e.g., for a system with 16 streams, its required complexity is less than 7% of the widely linear DD-LMS.
