Abstract

In this paper we propose the RF domain beamforming (BF) scheme with a single analog-to-digital/digital-to-analog converters (ADC/DAC) to reduce the power consumption of the chipset for the application to mm-wave WPAN systems and THz communication systems. We also propose the codebook search algorithm for the estimation of the channel state information (CSI) which is a bottleneck to implement the RF BF. Our simulation results show that the deterioration of bit error rate (BER) performance of our proposed design compared to the optimal baseband BF techniques [1], [2] is not significant, while the power consumption and the process time is much reduced.
