System Performance Evaluation of Hybrid Beamforming with Shaped Beam Patterns for mm-Wave 5G Base Stations

Hybrid beamforming (HBF) architecture provides promising trade-offs between the system performance and computational/hardware complexity in practical implementations of millimeter wave (mm-Wave) massive multiple-input multiple-output (mMIMO) 5th generation (5G) mobile networks compared to its fully digital beamforming (DBF) counterpart. In this...
