To support future mm-Wave wireless systems, such as 5G new radio (NR), massive MIMOs leverage large array size to substantially enhance the mm-Wave link budget and spatial selectivity, but their resulting narrow beamwidth drastically complicates the transmitter-receiver (TX-RX) alignment. Unlike existing mm-Wave applications that are mostly in \u0026ldquo;static\u0026rdquo; settings, many future mm-Wave links are expected to operate in highly \u0026ldquo;dynamic\u0026rdquo; environments, necessitating rapid and precise beam-forming\/-tracking to ensure high link reliability and extreme low latency.To address these challenges, this proposal shows a new MIMO receiver array that is the first of its kind to support hybrid beam-forming, achieving autonomous and dynamic rejection of unknown blockers and beam-forming on unknown desired signals. The proposal demonstrates that the desired signals with wideband modulated 64-\/256Q-AM are successfully measured and demodulated after cancelling the in-band\/co-channel blockers with the same modulation scheme and modulation rate. The closed-loop DSP-free mm-wave\/RF front-end beam-former also achieves rapid response time of \u0026lt; 1\u0026micro;s per beam-former stage, which is 100\u0026times; ~ 1000\u0026times; faster than the state-of-the-art mm-wave\/analog\/digital beam-formers using baseband DSP signal processing for beam-finding. This is the first proposed MIMO system for achieving autonomous wideband modulated 64-\/256-QAM blocker rejection and signal beam-forming with ultra-low-latency \u0026micro;s response time.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Scalable Wideband Closed-Loop Beam-Former Receiver Array for Full-FoV Instinctual and Autonomous Unknown Blocker Rejection and Signal Tracking"}],"uid":"28475","created_gmt":"2018-11-26 23:35:08","changed_gmt":"2018-11-26 23:35:08","author":"Daniela Staiculescu","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2018-12-10T10:30:00-05:00","event_time_end":"2018-12-10T12:30:00-05:00","event_time_end_last":"2018-12-10T12:30:00-05:00","gmt_time_start":"2018-12-10 15:30:00","gmt_time_end":"2018-12-10 17:30:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2018-12-10 17:30:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"434371","name":"ECE Ph.D. Proposal Oral Exams"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"102851","name":"Phd proposal"},{"id":"1808","name":"graduate students"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1788","name":"Other\/Miscellaneous"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78771","name":"Public"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
