On-off Analog Beamforming for Massive MIMO

This paper investigates a new analog beamforming architecture for massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems, where each of the multiple transmit antennas is switched to be on or off to form a beam according to the channel state information at transmitters. This on-off analog beamforming (OABF) scheme has the advantages in terms of both hardware complexities and algorithmic complexit...

Antenna Array Beamforming Technology: Enabling

In this paper, we propose the exploitation of array beamforming technology in high-speed aeronautical communication applications, e.g., the integrated Network Enhanced Telemetry (iNET) system. By flexible steering of beams and nulls, an array can enhance desired signals whereas the undesired signals such as interference and jammers are suppressed. The proposed adaptive beamforming technology is...

Microstrip Antenna Array for Beamforming Systems

A dual and quad element antenna array resonating at 2.4 GHz with narrow beam is proposed in this paper. An intention to put forward this work is to make use of microstrip patch antennas in beamforming to form directional beams in analog and digital domains; reducing co-channel / multipath interferences and improving Quality of Service (QoS) for senor arrays and 3G wireless networks. The size of...
