Abstract
A beamforming IC operates in a transmit mode or a receive mode to respectively transmit and receive signals at different times. To that end, the beamforming IC has an element interface, a transmit branch configured to produce an output transmit signal through the element interface when in the transmit mode, and a receive branch configured to receive an input signal through the element interface when in the receive mode. The beamforming circuit also has a sampling circuit with an electrical coupling with the transmit branch. The sampling circuit is configured to sample the output transmit signal with the electrical coupling to produce a sample signal. The sampling circuit also is configured to direct the sample signal through the receive branch, which is configured to modify the phase of the sample signal to produce a modified sample signal. This modified sample signal can be used to manage the IC transmission.
