Hybrid beamforming apparatus and method for the same

摘要

A hybrid beamforming apparatus and method are proposed for a communication system. The hybrid beamforming apparatus includes a plurality of antennas, a plurality of FFT, a plurality of hybrid weight-coefficient generators and a plurality of adders. In each of the hybrid weight-coefficient generators, the weight coefficient for each subcarrier is calculated by a time-domain correlation matrix and a cross-correlation vector, which is calculated by a frequency domain signal and a training signal. The hybrid beamforming apparatus and method according to the present invention can enhance immunity for multipath effect with lower system complexity.
