IEEE Access. pp. 1-13. ISSN 2169-3536
In this paper, we propose a novel MIMO antenna array configuration that incorporates metamaterial isolation surfaces to enhance overall performance. We demonstrate that the directivity of this antenna array can be precisely electronically reconfigured using PIN diode switches. Additionally, we show the feasibility of integrating solar panels with the proposed MIMO antenna array. Adopting solar panels in 5G base stations is expected to reduce dependency on traditional grid power sources, thereby decreasing energy usage and operational expenses, and supporting the goal of achieving net-zero emissions in communication systems. Furthermore, we demonstrate the effectiveness of an artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled equalizer in mitigating degradation in channel capacity caused by signal power fluctuations, thereby enhancing the reliability and efficiency of wireless communication systems. We demonstrate multifaceted benefits of combining these technologies.
