Résumé

The goal of this paper is to experimentally assess the field enhancement and hotspot size of radio frequency electromagnetic fields created by the Maximum Ratio Combining (MRC) precoding scheme using lab measurements at 3.5, 5.5 and 11 GHz. MRC is an adaptive precoding scheme used by Massive Multiple Input Multiple Output systems, one of the enabling techniques of the fifth generation of telecommunications (5G). A virtual antenna array was used to compare MRC with two passive precoding schemes: the Random Phase Model (RPM) and the Centerline Beam Model (CBM). The field enhancement going from CBM to MRC was largest in obstructed line of sight (OLOS), ranging from 1.9 to 7.4 dB. The field enhancement going from RPM to MRC was about 9.5 dB across frequency bands in both line of sight (LOS) and OLOS. The hotspot size, quantified by the full width at half maximum (FWHM), ranged from 0.5 wavelengths to one wavelength.
