Abstract
A method for a communication device with at least one antenna array composed of a plurality of antenna elements, each of the plurality of antenna elements coupled to a corresponding phase shifter of a plurality of phase shifters. The method includes determining an optimized beam forming weight for each of the plurality of phase shifters by maximizing an array gain of the antenna array for each steering angle of a plurality of pre-defined steering angles to generate a set of optimized beam forming weights for each steering angle; and configuring the plurality of phase shifters with the set of optimized beam forming weights for a selected steering angle to perform beam forming in direction of the selected steering angle.
