Partially-connected phase progression matrixes
Abstract:
A method of selecting an antenna beam includes: selecting a beam port of a first phase progression matrix having a first subset of antenna ports terminated in respective first characteristic impedances; selecting a beam port of a second phase progression matrix that is separate from the first phase progression matrix and has a second subset of antenna ports terminated in respective second characteristic impedances; and at least one of: combining a first receive signal portion from the selected beam port of the first phase progression matrix and a second receive signal portion from the selected beam port of the second phase progression matrix, or providing a first portion of a transmit signal to the selected beam port of the first phase progression matrix and a second portion of the transmit signal to the selected beam port of the second phase progression matrix.
