The present disclosure relates to a 5G or pre-5G communication system to be provided to support a higher data transmission rate after a 4G communication system such as LTE. An embodiment of the present specification relates to beamforming in a mobile communication system and comprises a step for configuring an operation of a limiter circuit for adjusting amplitude of a signal received by a receiver, and receiving the signal according the configuration. According to various embodiments of the present specification, a limiter circuit employed in a receiver supporting beamforming can prevent a reception circuit from being damaged. Further, when reception antenna gain is low or a high signal-to-noise ratio is required, a received signal is not allowed to pass through the limiter circuit so that the received signal can be prevented from deteriorating.

The difference between the antenna structure of the present invention and the current millimeter-wave antenna structure of mobile phones is that: the present invention uses antenna elements instead of antenna arrays; and the antenna structure of the present invention provides multi-port output signals, rather than a single output digital, to facilitate the adaptability of received signals combining on the baseband end.
