Concurrently, there is growing interest in full-duplex operation. The challenge to full-duplex is suppressing the high-powered self-interference caused by transmitting and receiving at the same time on the same frequency. Unfortunately, the state-of-the-art methods to suppress self-interference require extra analog circuitry that does not scale well to large antenna arrays. However, large antenna arrays open a new opportunity to use digital beamforming to reduce the self-interference. In this thesis we study the use of digital beamforming to enable full-duplex operation on conventional antenna arrays. Unlike most designs that rely on analog cancelers to suppress self-interference, we consider all-digital solutions that can be employed on existing radio hardware.application/pdfengCopyright is held by the author, unless otherwise indicated.
