Systematic Self-Interference Mitigation in Full Duplex Antenna Arrays Via Transmit Beamforming

• The optimal antenna array excitation vector is derived that maximizes the (realized) array gain in a particular direction while preventing the coupled input power to the low-noise amplifiers on the receive side to exceed a certain maximum threshold level. This is very useful for in-band full-duplex systems where the hardware complexity for self-interference cancellation must be minimized. In this approach, the perfect nulling of interference on the RX side is not required, sparing degrees of freedom for the TX beamformer. We evaluate the performance of the proposed TX beamforming algorithm by showing numerical results of the 25 x-polarized TX and 25 RX with 0.5λ element spacing and λ gap distance between the TX and RX sub-array.
