SMALL CELL WIRELESS COMMUNICATION DEVICES HAVING ENHANCED BEAMSTEERING CAPABILITY AND METHODS OF OPERATING SAME
A small cell wireless communication device includes an antenna having an array of radiating elements, a control circuit, and a transceiver/radio. The transceiver is electrically coupled to the antenna by an array of phase shifters, which are responsive to control signals that encode phase weight information and enable the array of phase shifters and the array of radiating elements to collectively perform elevation beamsteering of wireless signals generated by the transceiver, in response to signals generated by the control circuit upon movement of the antenna. In some instances, these signals generated by the control circuit may include an elevation beam index, which may operate as a pointer into a look-up table, which stores phase-weights to be provided to the array of phase shifters.
