Abstract
To increase the performance of mobile communication systems, base statations having beamforming function are released recently. For the proper beamforming function, it is required that each RF paths be calibrated periodically. However, the current calibration method has a problem when the base station is connected to a repeater. In this paper, we report the problem and propose a new calibration method to solve the problem.
