Abstract
Reducing beamforming power consumption in a wireless communications system (WCS) is disclosed. In the WCS, a wireless node(s) is configured to emit a data-bearing radio frequency (RF) beam(s) in an intended direction(s). Specifically, the wireless node(s) is configured to form the data-bearing RF beam(s) by preprocessing a data signal based on a beamforming codeword to generate multiple beamforming signals, amplifying the beamforming signals to certain output powers using multiple power amplifiers, and emitting the amplified beamforming signals simultaneously from multiple antenna elements. In embodiments disclosed herein, the wireless node(s) can be configured to suppress a sidelobe(s) associated with the data-bearing RF beam(s) without sacrificing efficiency and/or increasing power consumption of the power amplifiers. As a result, the wireless node(s) can achieve improved adjacent channel power ratio (ACPR), adjacent channel leakage ratio (ACLR), and/or error vector magnitude (EVM) concurrent to reducing beamforming power consumption.
