Abstract
A beamforming integrated circuit has a single channel with a transmit chain and a receive chain. The transmit chain is configured to transmit an output signal and, in a corresponding manner, the receive chain is configured to receive an input signal. The integrated circuit also has separate horizontal and vertical polarity ports, and a double pole, double throw switch operably coupled between the chains and the ports. The double pole, double throw switch is configured to switch between operation in a first mode and a second mode.
