Abstract

Current trends in developing cost-effective and energy-efficient wireless systems operating at mm-wave frequencies and with large-scale phased array antennas for fulfilling the high data-rate demands of 5G and beyond has driven the needs to explore the use of hybrid beamforming technologies. This chapter focuses on the development and experimental evaluations of a width-bandwidth mm-wave fully-connected hybrid beamforming metrological testbed with large antenna array. Such testbed provides academics and industry a unique test platform with significantly more degrees of freedom on trial and development of different robust hybrid beamforming algorithms for reaching higher data rate for mm-wave communications. It enables full exploitation over the advantages of large arrays as well as radically reduce the traceable metrological burden. Discussions include testbed design, traceable calibration procedures, experimental evaluations, as well as the critical factors to consider for their practical implementation.
