TRANSCEIVER ARRAY SYNCHRONIZATION

摘要

Aspects of methods and systems for transceiver array synchronization are provided. An array based communications system comprises a plurality of transceiver circuits and an array coordinator. Each transceiver circuit of the plurality of transceiver circuits comprises a plurality of wireless transmitters and a local oscillator generator. Each wireless transmitter of the plurality of wireless transmitters is able to modulate a local oscillator signal from the local oscillator generator based on a weighted sum of a plurality of digital datastreams. The array coordinator is able to adjust a phase of a first local oscillator signal based on a phase difference between the first local oscillator signal and a second local oscillator signal. The first local oscillator signal is generated by a first local oscillator generator of a first transceiver circuit. The second local oscillator signal is generated by a second local oscillator generator of a second transceiver circuit.
