Massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) is one of the key technologies of the fifth generation mobile communication system (5G). For development of massive MIMO systems, the directional properties of their wireless channel are of great importance. In this paper, directional analysis is presented based on a channel measurement campaign for massive MIMO communications in a theater environment. The measurements were conducted at 11 GHz with a bandwidth of 200 MHz. A 256-element virtual uniform rectangular array (URA) was used during the measurements, and the channel characteristics in angular domain are determined by applying the space-alternating generalized expectation-maximization algorithm (SAGE). According to the SAGE estimates, channel nonstationarity over the large-scale array is discussed. The dominant scatterers are identified, by directly relating the SAGE estimates to the physical objects in the measurement environment. Moreover, direction spread over the large-scale array at the Tx side is estimated, and channel performance on beamforming is evaluated. Corresponding analysis is given in detail. These results are useful for the design and application of the practical massive MIMO system in the future.
