Abstract

Dynamic metasurface antennas (DMAs) provide a new paradigm to realize large-scale antenna arrays for future wireless systems. In this paper, we study the downlink millimeter wave (mmWave) DMA systems with limited number of radio frequency (RF) chains. By using the specific DMA structure, an equivalent mmWave channel model with hybrid beamforming is first explicitly characterized. Based on that, we propose an effective joint microstrip selection and beamforming scheme to accommodate for the limited number of RF chains. A low-complexity digital beamforming solution with channel gain-based microstrip selection is developed, while the analog beamformer is obtained via a coordinate ascent method. The proposed scheme is numerically shown to approach the performance of DMAs without RF chain reduction, verifying the effectiveness of the proposed schemes.
