Switch-based Hybrid Beamforming for Wideband Multi-carrier Communications
Switch-based hybrid beamforming (SW-HBF) architectures are promising for realizing massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) communications systems because of their low cost and low power consumption. In this paper, we study the performance of SW-HBF in a wideband multi-carrier MIMO communication system considering the beam squint effect. We aim at designing the switch-based combiner that maximizes the system spectral efficiency (SE). However, the design problem is challenging because the analog combing matrix elements are binary variables. To overcome this, we propose tabu search-based (TS) SW-HBF schemes that can attain near-optimal performance with reasonable computational complexity. Furthermore, we compare the total power consumption and energy efficiency (EE) of the SW-HBF architecture to those of the phase-shifter-based hybrid beamforming (PS-HBF) architecture. Numerical simulations show that the proposed algorithms can efficiently find near-optimal solutions. Moreover, the SW-HBF scheme can significantly mitigate the beam squint effect and is less affected by the number of subcarriers than PS-HBF. It also provides improved SE and EE performance compared to PS-HBF schemes.
