Abstract

This paper proposes a low-complexity wideband beamforming subarray for millimeter wave (mmW) 5G wireless communications. The multibeam subarray is based on using a novel delay Vandermonde matrix (DVM) algorithm to efficiently generate analog true-time-delay beams that have no beam squint. A factorization for the DVM leading to low-complexity analog realizations is provided and complexity analysis for real and complex inputs is derived. The DVM is a special case of a Vandermonde matrix but with complex nodes that lack any special properties (unlike the discrete Fourier transform matrix). Error bounds for the DVM are established and then analyzed for numerical stability. Mixed-signal CMOS integrated circuits designs are proposed for the implementation of DVM multibeam algorithms along with low-complexity digital realizations to achieve hybrid beamforming for mmW applications. Analog-digital hybrid mmW multibeam beamforming circuits and systems are designed, for example, with eight beams at 28 GHz and simulated in cadence for functional verification.

  • The parallel realization of N beams using a network of TTDs with durations set to integer multiples of τ0 leads to an N-beam TTD multi-beam beamformer with an underlying mathematical framework given by the DVM.

    “The parallel realization of N beams using a network of TTDs with durations set to integer multiples of τ0 leads to an N-beam TTD multi-beam beamformer with an underlying mathematical framework given by the DVM [7,8,9,10,11].”
  • The SFGs in [7] are continuous-time and realized as analog microwave circuits.

    “However, the SFGs in [7] are continuous-time and realized as analog microwave circuits.”
  • The paper proposes a low-complexity wideband TTD digital DVM algorithm using Thiran fractional delays.

    “Thus, with this and from the prior work on DVM [7,8,9,10,11], we propose a low-complexity wideband TTD digital DVM algorithm using Thiran fractional delays.”
  • The proposed algorithm is more reliable for large N than the matrix-matrix multiplication-based DVM algorithm in [7,8].

    “The proposed algorithm is more reliable for large N than that for the matrix–matrix multiplication-based DVM algorithm in [7,8].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
