Abstract
Beamforming communication systems with modular front-ends are provided herein. In certain embodiments, a beamforming communication system includes an antenna array partitioned into a plurality of sub-arrays, and a plurality of front-end modules each operatively associated with one of the sub-arrays. Each of the front-end modules includes at least two radio frequency (RF) transmit channels and at least two RF receive channels. Thus, the signals transmitted and received on the antenna array are processed using a multiple front-end modules servicing sub-arrays.
