This article investigates the impact of precoding on the performance of massive MIMO transmitters with antenna crosstalk. A new metric, average active impedance, is introduced to quantify load modulation, and three new precoding schemes are proposed to improve the transmitter's resilience to variation in channel conditions. Experiments confirmed that the proposed schemes equalize average-power levels across all RF chains.
This article investigates the impact of precoding on the performance of massive multiple-input multiple-output (mMIMO) transmitters exhibiting nonnegligible antenna crosstalk. For this, a new metric, called the average active impedance, is introduced to quantify the extent of load modulation as a function of the antenna S-parameters and the employed precoding. The new metric is then used to investigate the load modulation under conventional precoding schemes. It is shown that these precoders yield large disparities in average-power levels across the radio frequency (RF) chains, which results in substantial performance variations with channel conditions. Based on this investigation, we propose three new precoding schemes that yield equal average-power (EP) levels across all RF chains, independent of the channel conditions. Numerical simulations and experiments conducted on an mMIMO transmitter prototype confirmed that the proposed schemes improve the transmitter's resilience to the variation in channel conditions.
