Power consumption and hardware cost reduction with the use of hybrid beamforming in large-scale millimeter wave MIMO systems. The large dimensional analog precoding integrates with the hybrid beamforming based on the phase shifters including digital precoding with lower dimensionality. The reduction of Euclidean distance between the hybrid precoder and fully digital is the major problem to overcome the minimization of resultant spectral efficiency. The issue formulates as a fully digital precoder’s matrix factorization problem based on the analog RF precoder matrix and the digital baseband precoder matrix. An additional element-wise unit modulus constraint is imposed by the phase shifters on the analog RF precoder matrix. The traditional methods have a problem of performance loss in spectral efficiency. In the processing time and iteration, high complexities result in optimization algorithms. In this paper, a novel low complexity algorithm proposes which maximizes the spectral efficiency and reduces the computational processing time.

Subarray-based hybrid beamforming (SBHB) systems represent an efficient architectural solution to realize massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems. Thereby, the beamforming is no longer realized exclusively in the digital domain, but in coordination with an analog beamforming network by connecting each digital channel to a dedicated number of antenna elements via phase shifters. Most channel estimation and beamforming algorithms for SBHB systems are based on beam steering approaches, demanding a precise calibration of the analog beamforming network. In this letter, the SBHB system is calibrated by over-the-air (OTA) scattering parameter measurements and two criteria to optimize the beam pattern are formulated exploiting the ambiguities of the phase shifters. Both optimization criteria are evaluated using a designed SBHB receiver system operating at 27.8 GHz.
