Two-beam multiplexing with inter-subarray coding for arbitrary directions based on interleaved subarray architectures

A new method is proposed to achieve millimeter-wave two-beam multiplexing with arbitrary directions based on the interleaved subarray architecture. Beam interference can be mitigated and beam gain augmented by multiplexing multiple beams. Previous techniques can only multiplex two beams whose directions satisfy a specific relationship. By the proposed design and the associated inter-coding technique, two-beam multiplexing for arbitrary directions to serve two users is achieved. Design examples are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method
