  • Patent number: 8760240
    Abstract: A miniaturized (compact) millimeter wave hybrid based on a coupling function and associated method for designing millimeter wave electrical elements based on a coupling function is provided. The invention overcomes a drawback of conventional coupled transmission lines structures and equivalent lumped elements in that they are considerably large in size for IC designs making such structures unsuitable for use in RFICs' designs. Hence, such structures are not partial in millimeter wave electrical elements, and more particularly elements that should be integrated in devices for 60 GHz applications.

  • Patent number: 8705661
    Abstract: A method for performing channel estimation in a millimeter wave wireless communication system. The method includes receiving complementary sequences at a receiver of the millimeter wave wireless communication system. The received complementary sequences are generated at a first sampling rate; producing special complementary sequences from the received complementary sequences; cross-correlating the special complementary sequences with an input signal related to the received complementary sequences. The cross-correlation is performed at a second sampling rate and the second sampling rate is higher than the first sampling rate; and analyzing the result of the cross-correlation to estimate at least characteristics of a channel between the receiver and a transmitter of the millimeter wave wireless communication system.
