Abstract
Adaptive antenna beamforming may involve a maximum signal-to-noise ratio beamforming method, a correlation matrix based beamforming method, or a maximum ray beamforming method. The adaptive antenna beamforming may be used in a millimeter-wave wireless personal area network in one embodiment.
Claims17
A method comprising:
- beamforming by calculating antenna weight vectors to communicate using only one ray, namely a ray with maximum power;
- and
- applying the antenna weight vectors to at least one of a receiving or transmitting antenna system operating in a 60 GigaHertz frequency band.
A wireless communication apparatus comprising:
- a transmitter adapted to use at least one antenna capable of beamforming, said beam forming accomplished by using antenna weight vectors calculated by a processor to communicate through only one ray, namely a ray with maximum power in a 60 GigaHertz frequency band.
