Future wireless systems will require ever larger antenna arrays and heavier signal processing, making conventional digital multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) architectures difficult to scale. In this paper, we show that a possible solution is to offload part of the processing…
Microwave linear analog computers (MiLACs) have recently gained attention for future gigantic multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems by enabling beamforming with greatly reduced hardware and computational cost. However, channel estimation for MiLAC-aided multiuser systems…
