Beamforming for Millimeter Wave Communications: An Inclusive Survey

摘要: The remarkable growth of wireless data traffic in recent times has driven the need to explore suitable regions radio spectrum meet projected requirements. In pursuance this, millimeter wave communications have received considerable attention research fraternity. Due high path and penetration losses at wavelengths, antenna beamforming assumes a pivotal role establishing maintaining robust communication link. Beamforming for poses multitude diverse challenges due large channel bandwidth, unique characteristics, hardware constraints. this paper, we track evolution advancements context distinct requirements indoor outdoor scenarios. We expand scope discussion by including developments frequency system design implementation beamforming. suitability methods, both, existing proposed till midyear 2015, identify exciting new prospects unfolding domain.
