Patent ID: 11469498

Abstract:
Systems and methods are disclosed herein for self-calibration of an analog beamforming transceiver. In some embodiments, a method of operation of a self-calibration subsystem of an analog beamforming transceiver comprises, for each of multiple receive antenna elements for each of multiple transmit beam directions: transmitting a signal in the transmit beam direction via multiple transmit antenna elements of a second polarization and obtaining a measurement value for a received signal received via the receive antenna element of a first polarization responsive to the transmitted signal. The method further comprises computing calibration values for the receive antenna elements of the first polarization and calibration values for the transmit antenna elements of the second polarization based on the obtained measurement values. The method further comprises applying the calibration values for the receive antenna elements of the first polarization and the calibration values for the transmit antenna elements of the second polarization.
