Abstract: A computer implemented method for self-calibration of a Phased Array Antenna (PAA) having an array of N antenna elements. Each element operates as a transmit antenna element and/or as a receive antenna element. The method includes building an overdetermined system of linear equations presenting different couples of antenna elements. Each equation expressing a difference between a value of a real parameter, determined for a specific couple, and a sum of unknowns including unknown calibrated parameters of the antenna elements forming the specific couple, Next, solving the system of equations for obtaining a solution in the form of values of corrections to be applied to corresponding antenna elements in the array, in order to reduce the difference in each of the equations by bringing internal parameters of the antenna elements in a specific couple closer to their respective unknown calibrated parameters.

Abstract: The present invention comprises a system and method for reduction of the influence of crosstalk, increase in and control over quality of service, increase in stability and reduction of power use in a system having multiple transmission lines. A novel crosstalk measurement method is introduced. Knowing the crosstalk, various algorithms may be employed, for example to reduce or eliminate its effects in order to guarantee a bit error rate equal to or less than the maximum allowed for each line. Similar methods are provided to minimize power consumption, or maximize related measures of line performance. Systems, devices, methods and techniques are provided that allow communication system to adapt transmission power margin, power spectral densities, and the like dynamically to changing subscriber's application needs in MIMO systems.
