The processing of low-frequency interaural time differences is found to be problematic among hearing-impaired people. The current generation of beamformers does not consider this deficiency. In an attempt to tackle this issue, we propose to…

Hybrid beamforming for frequency-selective channels is a challenging problem as the phase shifters provide the same phase shift to all of the subcarriers. The existing approaches solely rely on the channel's frequency response and the…

The demands for high data rates in 6G networks have driven the transition toward higher frequencies and larger antenna apertures, giving rise to the near-field communications. In the near-field region, spherical waves enable beam focusing…

Phased arrays, commonly used in IEEE 802.11ad and 5G radios, are capable of focusing radio frequency signals in a specific direction or a spatial region. Beamforming achieves such directional or spatial concentration of signals and enables…

Cooperating radios can extend their communication range by adjusting their signals to ensure coherent combining at a destination radio. This technique is called distributed transmit beamforming. Beamforming (BF) relies on the BF radios…
