MIMO RECEIVER AND METHOD FOR BEAMFORMING USING CORDIC OPERATIONS

摘要

Embodiments of a MIMO receiver and method for beamforming using CORDIC operations are generally described herein. Other embodiments may be described and claimed. In some embodiments, complex singular value decomposition (SVD) operations are performed on a channel matrix using CORDIC operations to generate vector elements of a beamforming matrix. An inner product of a first of the vector elements and each of a plurality of stored codewords is computed using CORDIC operations. A recursive dimensional reduction on the beamforming matrix is performed based on the quantized first vector element is performed using CORDIC operations. In some embodiments, the MIMO receiver includes reprogrammable CORDIC circuitry.
