How Many Antennas Do We Need for Massive MIMO Channel Sounding? - Validating Through Measurement
This paper investigates the impact of the number of antennas (8 to 64) and the array configuration on massive MIMO channel parameters estimation for multiple propagation scenarios at 3.5 GHz. Different measurement environments are artificially created by placing several reflectors and absorbers in an anechoic chamber. Ground truth channel parameters, e.g, path angles, are obtained by geometry and trigonometric rules. Then, these are compared to the channel parameters extracted by the applying Space-Alternating Generalized Expectation-Maximization (SAGE) algorithm on the measurements. Overall, the estimation errors for various array configurations and the multiple environments are compared. This paper will help to determine the appropriate configuration of the antenna array and the parameter extraction algorithm for outdoor massive MIMO channel sounding campaigns.
