    Abstract: Passive switched-capacitor (PSC) filters are described herein. In one design, a PSC filter implements a second-order infinite impulse response (IIR) filter with two complex first-order IIR sections. Each complex first-order IIR section includes three sets of capacitors. A first set of capacitors receives a real input signal and an imaginary delayed signal, stores and shares electrical charges, and provides a real filtered signal. A second set of capacitors receives an imaginary input signal and a real delayed signal, stores and shares electrical charges, and provides an imaginary filtered signal. A third set of capacitors receives the real and imaginary filtered signals, stores and shares electrical charges, and provides the real and imaginary delayed signals. In another design, a PSC filter implements a finite impulse response (FIR) section and an IIR section for a complex first-order IIR section. The IIR section includes multiple complex filter sections operating in an interleaved manner.

    Abstract: An apparatus is disclosed for implementing a flexible beamforming architecture. In an example aspect, the apparatus comprises an antenna array comprising a first antenna element with a first feed port and a second antenna element with a second feed port. The apparatus also comprises a wireless transceiver with a first dedicated transceiver path coupled to the first feed port and a second dedicated transceiver path coupled to the second feed port. The wireless transceiver also comprises a flexible beamforming network configured to selectively be in a first configuration that couples both the first dedicated transceiver path and the second dedicated transceiver path to a first intermediate transceiver path of the wireless transceiver, and be in a second configuration that connects the first dedicated transceiver path to the first intermediate transceiver path and connects the second dedicated transceiver path to a second intermediate transceiver path of the wireless transceiver.

    Abstract: An apparatus is disclosed for flexible beamforming using frequency-division multiplexing. In an example aspect, an apparatus includes an antenna array and a wireless transceiver with two or more dedicated receive paths respectively coupled to two or more antenna elements of the antenna array, two or more mixers, a first combiner, a second combiner, and a switching circuit. The first combiner has a first input coupled to a first dedicated receive path and an output coupled to an input of a first mixer. The second combiner has a first input coupled to an output of the first mixer and a second input coupled to an output of a second mixer. The switching circuit is configured to selectively connect a second dedicated receive path to a second input of the first combiner or connect the second dedicated receive path to an input of the second mixer.

    Abstract: A UE may be configured to communicate using one of analog beamforming or hybrid beamforming. The UE may receive a set of beamformed signals from a base station. The UE may determine a set of angular spread values associated with a set of clusters in a channel between the base station and the UE based on the set of beamformed signals received from the base station. The UE may transmit the set of angular spread values to the base station. The UE may receive, from the base station based on the set of angular spread values, a set of transmission ranks associated with at least one cluster of the set of clusters. The UE may communicate at least one data stream with the base station across the at least one cluster using the set of transmission ranks associated with the at least one cluster of the set of clusters.
