Abstract

In this paper, a simple method for canceling interference by using antenna directivities is proposed for short-range transmission systems. For higher data transmission systems the millimeter-wave frequency bands are useful because of their wide bandwidths. Also, Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) technology can be applied to these bands because the application enables channel capacity to be increased by using multiple antennas at the transmitter and receiver without expanding the frequency bandwidth. However, since MIMO transmission schemes are complicated we consider parallel transmission, a simple method for transmitting multiple data streams that is suitable for short-range MIMO transmission. We propose a simple method for canceling interference by using antenna directivities and improving channel capacity in parallel transmission. Numerical analysis shows that the method maximizes channel capacity at the optimal spacing Lopt = 2λ0. It is also found that the channel capacity of the method is 14 % higher than that of Eigenmode beamforming (EM-BF) for two transmission streams and 12 % higher for four streams.
