Abstract
Full-duplex millimeter wave (mmWave) communication has shown increasing promise for self-interference cancellation via hybrid precoding and combining. This paper proposes a novel mmWave multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) design for configuring the analog and digital beamformers of a full-duplex transceiver. This work is the first to holistically consider the key practical constraints of analog beamforming codebooks, a minimal number of radio frequency (RF) chains, limited channel knowledge, beam alignment, and a limited receive dynamic range. To prevent self-interference from saturating receive components, such as LNAs and ADCs, a design framework is developed that limits the degree of self-interference on a per-antenna and per-RF chain basis. We present a means for constructing analog beamforming candidates from beam alignment measurements to afford our design greater flexibility in its aim to reduce self-interference. Numerical results evaluate the design in a variety of settings and validate the need to prevent receiver-side saturation. These results and corresponding insights serve as useful design references and benchmarks for practical full-duplex mmWave transceivers.
