Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for millimeter-wave (MMW) communication, the system includes a transceiver chip to generate and to receive signals. An interface is used to communicate the signals between the transceiver chip and one or more active antenna modules. The signals include modulated MMW signals and control signals. The transceiver chip includes baseband circuitry, up and down conversion mixers, and RF front-end circuitry. An active antenna module receives a first modulated MMW signal from the interface for transmission via antennas and to receive a second modulated MMW signal from the antennas for transmission through the interface to the transceiver chip.

Abstract: An electronic device includes circuitry configured to determine an antenna operation mode for one or more antenna arrays. The circuitry is further configured to control the one or more antenna arrays to operate in a combined antenna mode via a Wilkinson combiner. The circuitry is also configured to control the one or more antenna arrays to operate in an isolated antenna mode via a single-pole, multi-throw switch.
