Millimeter Wave Receiver Efficiency: A Comprehensive Comparison of Beamforming Schemes With Low Resolution ADCs
In this paper, we study the achievable rate and the energy efficiency of analog, hybrid, and digital combining (AC, HC, and DC) for millimeter wave (mmW) receivers. We take into account the power consumption of all receiver components, not just analog-to-digital converters (ADCs), determine some practical limitations of beamforming in …
