An apparatus includes a substrate and a plurality of antenna elements on the substrate and arranged according to an antenna configuration. The antenna configuration includes a rectangular antenna patch, and first and second pairs of circular antenna patches. The first pair of circular antenna patches supports a first angular polarization, wherein the circular antenna patches of the first pair are coupled to opposite corners of the rectangular antenna patch. The second pair of circular antenna patches supports a second angular polarization that is orthogonal to the first angular polarization, wherein the antenna patches of the second pair are coupled to opposite corners of the rectangular antenna patch, wherein each of the antenna patches of the first pair are positioned on corners adjacent to both of the antenna patches of the second pair.

Dual polarized base station and user equipment antenna for upper mid-band X-MIMO

A hybrid MIMO system comprises N digital transceiver chains and N analog beamformers, each coupled to one of the digital transceiver chains and comprising M analog transmitter (TX) chains and M analog receiver (RX) chains. One of the analog RX chains is an RX reference node and one of the analog TX chains is a TX reference node. A processor is coupled to a calibration transceiver, the transceiver chains, and the beamformers. For each beamformer the processor measures, using the corresponding transceiver chain and the calibration transceiver, TX and RX phase responses and TX and RX magnitude responses of the TX and RX reference nodes, respectively, determines a reciprocity calibration based on a phase difference between the TX and RX phase responses and a magnitude difference between the TX and RX magnitude responses, and applies the reciprocity calibration to stored beam definitions to correct for the phase and magnitude differences.

Hierarchical beamforming and reciprocity calibration for hybrid MIMO systems

An apparatus includes a substrate, first and second transmission lines on the substrate, first antenna elements coupled to a first-first transmission line, and second antenna elements coupled to a first-second transmission line. A first distance between the adjacent first-first and first-second transmission lines is different than a second distance between the first-first transmission line and a second-second transmission line, the second-second transmission line adjacent to the first-first transmission line on an opposite side from the first-second transmission line. At least two antenna elements in the first antenna elements are differently sized.
