A method for managing beam squint in a phased antenna array system operating at millimeter wavelengths using carrier aggregation includes determining a minimum array gain threshold, determining an upper bound for a fractional bandwidth for a fixed number of antennas, and constructing a codebook with a predetermined coverage range based on at least one of an angle of arrival or an angle of departure and further based on the upper bound. The method further includes performing carrier aggregation for the fixed number of antennas and selecting at least two antennas based on the codebook.
