6G Wireless Communication Using Holographic MIMO: Modeling and Performance Evaluation |
| Project Description |
Holographic Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (Holographic MIMO or HMIMO) is an emerging 6G technology that uses extremely large, dense antenna surfaces to enable high-resolution beamforming and precise wavefront control. Unlike conventional MIMO, holographic MIMO operates in both near-field and far-field regimes and requires new channel models and signal processing approaches.
This project focuses on understanding and modeling holographic MIMO systems through analysis and simulation. The student will implement simplified HMIMO channel models and study key aspects such as near-field beam focusing, spatial resolution, and user separation. The emphasis will be on practical modeling, visualization, and performance evaluation rather than advanced mathematics.
Expected Outcomes
• A simulation framework for holographic MIMO systems
• Clear visualization of near-field beam focusing effects
• Quantitative comparison between conventional MIMO and holographic MIMO
• Improved understanding of 6G-era antenna and propagation concepts
• Final report with analysis and plots |
| Project Discipline |
Electrical Engineering, Electronics and Communication Engineering, Computer Science, or related programs. Basic knowledge of signals and systems and programming (MATLAB or Python) is sufficient. |
