Analyzing Hardware Error Effects on Phase-Mode Beamforming for UCAs
In this paper, the effect of hardware errors is analyzed for phase-mode beamforming for uniform circular arrays. Distortion-mode errors due to array inter-element spacing is investigated along with hardware errors due to slight phase differences of an ideal and actual Butler matrix design. Phase-mode beamforming is carried out for using both ideal and real hardware implementations of the array and Butler matrix.
