Abstract
A method of over-the-air beamforming calibration is disclosed for a multi-antenna transceiver having a first plurality of antenna elements connected to respective transceiver chains. Beamforming calibration comprises determining respective beamforming calibration factors for the transceiver chains of the antenna elements of the first plurality. The method comprises determining a second plurality of measurement resources for calibration sounding, wherein the second plurality is smaller than the first plurality. The method also comprises (for each measurement resource of the second plurality) selecting one or more antenna elements of the first plurality for sounding signal transmission, wherein each antenna element of the first plurality is selected for one or more of the measurement resources of the second plurality. The method also comprises (using each measurement resource of the second plurality) overlappingly transmitting respective sounding signals by the selected one or more antenna elements. Corresponding apparatus, multi-antenna transceiver, wireless communication device and computer program product are also disclosed.
