CARRIER FREQUENCY OFFSET COMPENSATION IN BEAMFORMING SYSTEMS

摘要

A method for communicating signals in an ultra high bandwidth system that compensates for carrier frequency offset is provided. A baseband transmit signal having a plurality of data bits is generated. The baseband transmit signal is upconverted to a radio frequency (RF) transmit signal using a first local oscillator signal having a first carrier frequency. An offset cancellation for the offset between the first carrier frequency and a second carrier frequency for a second local oscillator signal that is used to downconvert an RF receive signal is calculated. The offset cancellation is applied to a plurality of phase rotators, and the RF transmit signal is transmitted over a phased array.
