Abstract: Disclosed is a hybrid antenna array (100) comprising a plurality of digital branches (145), each digital branch including an analogue beamforming sub-array (e.g. 110-1), each sub-array having a plurality of antenna elements (120), a phase shifter (130) adapted to apply a phase shift to the signal from each antenna element, and a combiner (e.g. 135-1) adapted to combine the phase-shifted signals. Each digital branch also includes a signal chain (e.g. 140-1) adapted to convert the output of the sub-array to baseband. The hybrid antenna array also comprises a digital processing module (150), including: an angle of arrival estimation sub-module (155) adapted to estimate an angle of arrival of a signal at the antenna elements; a phase control sub-module (170) adapted to control the phase shift applied by each phase shifter depending on the estimated angle of arrival; and a digital beamformer (165) adapted to combine the baseband signals from the digital branches using a weight vector to form an output signal (180).

Abstract: A wireless data communications method and transmitter are disclosed. A transmitter (402N, 800) includes a module (802) configured to group adjacent sub-bands from among a set of transmission radio frequency channels assigned to a terminal into a plurality of aggregated sub-bands. A single carrier modulator (804) is configured to modulate data symbols in at least some of said aggregated sub-bands. A combining module (808) is configured to combine said single carrier modulated signals into a multi-carrier signal. A receiver (502N, 900) is also provided in conjunction with the transmitter (800) to constitute a transceiver.
