Abstract

In this letter, we propose a blockwise phase rotation-aided analog transmit beamforming (BPR-ATB) scheme to improve the spectral efficiency and the bit-error-rate (BER) performance in millimeter wave (mmWave) communication systems. Due to the phase angle optimization issues of the conventional analog beamforming, we design the BPR-ATB for reducing the rotated beamspace of the equivalent channel and improving the minimum Euclidean distance. To verify the effectiveness of the proposed BPR-ATB scheme, we employ an Alamouti coding technique at the transmitter and evaluate the bit-error-rate performance for mmWave multiple-input and single-output systems. The simulation results show that the proposed BPR-ATB scheme outperforms the conventional discrete Fourier transform-based ATB scheme.
