A method of beamforming calibration is disclosed for a multi-antenna transceiver configured to communicate with one or more other transceivers. The multi-antenna transceiver has a plurality of transceiver chains connectable to respective antenna elements of the multi-antenna transceiver. Each transceiver chain comprises a transmitter path and a receiver path. The method comprises (for each transceiver chain) feeding an analog signal from the transmitter path to the receiver path via connection circuitry between the transmitter path and the receiver path to provide a digital calibration signal, and determining a beamforming calibration factor for the transceiver chain based on the digital calibration signal. Corresponding apparatus, multi-antenna transceiver, wireless communication node, and computer program product are also disclosed.
A method of beamforming calibration for a multi-antenna transceiver configured to communicate with one or more other transceivers, the multi-antenna transceiver having a plurality of transceiver chains connectable to respective antenna elements of the multi-antenna transceiver, and each transceiver chain comprising a transmitter path and a receiver path, the method comprising, for each transceiver chain:
A non-transitory computer readable medium, having thereon a computer program comprising program instructions, the computer program being loadable into a data processing unit and configured to cause execution of a method when the computer program is run by the data processing unit, wherein the method is for beamforming calibration for a multi-antenna transceiver configured to communicate with one or more other transceivers, the multi-antenna transceiver having a plurality of transceiver chains connectable to respective antenna elements of the multi-antenna transceiver, and each transceiver chain comprising a transmitter path and a receiver path, the method comprising, for each transceiver chain:
An apparatus for beamforming calibration of a multi-antenna transceiver configured to communicate with one or more other transceivers, the apparatus comprising:
