| contents | In the past decade, $>$1 Gsps ADCs have become commonplace and are used in many modern 5G base station chips. A major driving force behind this adoption is the benefits of digital up/down-conversion and improved digital filtering. Recent works have also advocated for utilizing this high sampling bandwidth to fit-in multiple MIMO streams, and reduce the number of ADCs required to build MIMO base-stations. This can potentially reduce the cost of Massive MIMO RUs, since ADCs are the most expensive electronics in the base-station radio chain. However, these recent works do not model the necessary decimation filters that exist in the signal path of these high sampling rate ADCs. We show in this short paper that because of the decimation filters, there can be introduction of cross-talks which can hinder the performance of these shared ADC interfaces. We simulate the shared ADC interface with Matlab 5G toolbox for uplink MIMO, and show that these cross-talks can be mitigated by performing MMSE equalization atop the PUSCH estimated channels. |
