Abstract

The large-scale deployment of millimeter-wave (mm-wave) 5G is proceeding rapidly [1]-[4]. Mm-wave phased-arrays rely on large array sizes to improve the link budget and spatial selectivity. Many future mm-wave links in 5G need to be established in congested, highly dynamic environments, such as vehicle-/drone-based links, which require agile, precise beamforming/tracking and spatial blocker suppression to achieve high link reliability and low latency. Conventional phased-arrays rely on back-end digital signal processing (DSP) to perform beamforming and signal tracking at the expense of extra power consumption and system complexity with a typical response time of 45ms [1]-[4], which does not meet the 5G requirement of less than 1ms latency-[4].
