Microwave One-dimensional Imaging Measurement in 5G MIMO

MIMO antenna arrays have been widely used in 5G communications. However, the antenna array brings difficulties to the antenna measurement work because of its large-scale elements. This research proposed a method for measuring large-scale elements based on microwave 1-D imaging. The feasibility of the measurement method was verified using FEKO and MATLAB software. The simulation results show that utilizing this method is capable of detecting the match state of MIMO elements quickly, which decreases the time cost and improves the measurement efficiency to a large extent compared with the traditional method.
