Xi’an Jiaotong University · Advisor: Prof. Ang Li · 2022 – 2023

Reconfigurable antennas add a new degree of freedom—the radiation pattern—that can be co-designed with the transmit precoder. This project exploits that synergy at the symbol level.

Contributions

  • Formulated the joint design of symbol-level precoding and reconfigurable radiation pattern.
  • Proposed an alternating-optimization scheme to design the precoder and the pattern jointly.
  • Developed a low-complexity scheme for practical applications and discussed antenna-design issues.
