The scale antenna technology, as a core key technology of 5G, plays a crucial role in meeting the technical requirements of the eMBB, urrllc and mtc (mass machine type communication) services. For example, for an eMBB scenario, the main technical indicators of the eMBB scenario are spectrum efficiency, peak rate, energy efficiency, user experience rate, and the like, high-order MU-MIMO transmission can obtain extremely high spectrum efficiency, and meanwhile, as the antenna scale increases, the influence of interference and noise between users tends to disappear, the transmission power required for achieving the same coverage and throughput will also be reduced, and energy efficiency will be improved.
It is well known that the main function of an antenna is to provide wireless coverage, i.e. to enable wireless signal transmission between a wired communication network and a wireless terminal. A filter is a frequency-selective device that passes certain frequency components of a signal while significantly attenuating other frequency components. By using the frequency selection function of the filter, interference noise can be filtered or spectrum analysis can be performed, in other words, all devices or systems which can pass specific frequency components in the signal and greatly attenuate or suppress other frequency components are called as filters. A filter is a device that filters waves.
