Abstract Beamforming design is a crucial stage in millimeter-wave systems with massive antenna arrays. We propose a deep learning network for the design of the precoder and combiner in hybrid architectures. The proposed network employs a parametric rectified linear unit (PReLU) activation function which improves model accuracy with almost no complexity cost compared to other functions. The proposed network accepts practical channel estimation input and can be trained to enhance spectral efficiency considering the hardware limitation of the hybrid design. Simulation shows that the proposed network achieves small performance improvement when compared to the same network with the ReLU activation function.

Tunable Liquid Crystal (LC)-based microwave components are of increasing interest in academia and industry. Based on these components, numerous applications can be targeted such as tunable microwave filters and beam-steering antenna systems. With the commercialization of first LC-steered antennas for Ku-band e.g., by Kymeta and Alcan Systems, LC-based microwave components left early research stages behind. With the introduction of terrestrial 5G communications systems, moving to millimeter-wave communication, these systems can benefit from the unique properties of LC in terms of material quality. In this paper, we show recent developments in millimeter wave phase shifters for antenna arrays. The limits of classical high-performance metallic rectangular waveguides are clearly identified. A new implementation with dielectric waveguides is presented and compared to classic approaches.
