A Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) device comprises an array of multiple antennas and a circuitry configured to receive, using the array of multiple antennas, a plurality of calibration signals from a plurality of proximate wireless MIMO devices, calibrate the wireless MIMO device based on the received calibration signals and based on known directions from the wireless MIMO device to each of the proximate wireless MIMO devices, and drive the array of multiple antennas to emit a beam-formed calibration signal to each of the proximate wireless devices in order to enable each of the proximate wireless MIMO devices to calibrate itself.

Low complexity angle of arrival (AOA) array calibration

A radio station, in particular an access point, for client localization in a multipath indoor environment is disclosed. The radio station comprises: a circular antenna array comprising uniform circularly arranged antenna elements; and a processor configured to: transform first input data from the circular antenna array into second input data using a transform that transforms the first steering vector of the circular antenna array into a second steering vector of a virtual linear antenna array; and transform the second input data into third input data by using a transform that transforms the second steering vector of the virtual linear antenna array into a third steering vector of a second virtual linear antenna array, comprising a larger number of antenna elements than the virtual linear antenna array; and determine an angle of arrival based on the third input data.
