| Summary: | Recent progress in millimeter-wave and microwave integrated circuit (IC) manufacturing technology has created new opportunities for the development of novel, low-cost antenna array architectures. In such systems, the associated specifications on RF components such as phase-shifters, oscillators, and amplifiers, can be challenging to meet in a cost-effective manner. In this paper, we develop a dense antenna array to ease such RF circuit requirements without sacrificing performance, and demonstrate its effectiveness for transmit and receive beamforming. We also investigate the effects of mutual coupling and impedance matching on the system performance. |
