It is demonstrated that in a single-user MIMO channel and for low signal-to-noise (SNR) ratios, the relative calibration method can increase the capacity close to the theoretical limit.
Abstract
Channel state information at the transmitter (CSIT) can greatly improve the capacity of a wireless MIMO communication system. In a time division duplex (TDD) system CSIT can be obtained by exploiting the reciprocity of the wireless channel. This however requires calibration of the radio frequency (RF) chains of the receiver and the transmitter, which are in general not reciprocal. In this paper we investigate different methods for relative calibration in the presence of frequency offsets between transmitter and receiver. We show results of theses calibration methods with real two-directional channel measurements, which were performed using the Eure-com MIMO Openair Sounder (EMOS). We demonstrate that in a single-user MIMO channel and for low signal-to-noise (SNR) ratios, the relative calibration method can increase the capacity close to the theoretical limit.

Downlink Pilots for Hybrid Massive MIMO Under Reciprocity Imperfections

TL;DR: This letter studies the performance of a time division duplex (TDD) hybrid massive multiple input multiple output (MIMO) system with imperfect calibration of the transmit and receive radio frequency chains with deterministic equivalent analysis and evaluates the relative performance of no downlink training, limited downlinkTraining, and FDD mode operation in the presence of reciprocity calibration errors.

Frugal calibration of mutual coupling in large scale antenna array

TL;DR: This work proposes to estimate the gain mismatches of the RF electronics and the mutual coupling mismatches separately, and relies on the pilot exchanges among the BS antennas and the symmetry of the antenna array to recover the transmit and receive gains of all the RF components.

A practical method for wireless channel reciprocity exploitation through relative calibration
