Patent number: 11133875Abstract: The present disclosure relates to over-the-air, OTA, reciprocity calibration for a distributed multiple input-multiple output, D-MIMO, system. By having antennas of the system divided in two separate groups, based on pairwise path loss, and by performing two measurements only, one of which is transmitting by the first group and simultaneously receiving by the second group, and the second by transmitting by the second group and simultaneously receiving by the first group, relations between receiver and transmitter impairments used in the measurements are determined, assuming reciprocity.
