Abstract
Methods are provided for calibrating a millimeter wave active antenna array using over-the-air measurements and an optimization algorithm. The transmit and receive paths may be optimized separately, and the optimization may be performed on the magnitude and phase separately or together. The parameter optimized may include the received power of the main lobe or the received power at the location of a null in some embodiments.
