Millimeter-wave beam multiplexing method using hybrid beamforming

A millimeter-wave beam multiplexing method using a hybrid beamforming is proposed. We theoretically show that inter-subarray coding at the subarray type interleaved configuration can reduce interference and multiple beams of the same high gain as the full connection type. The condition that a hybrid beamforming of the subarray type can create the multiple high gain beams is clarified. For the case of beam multiplexing, the interleaved configuration with inter-subarray coding is confirmed to be robust for interference increasing by errors of beam direction estimation. Therefore, we think that the interleaved configuration is suitable for millimeter-wave beam multiplexing.
