A 64-channel massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) transceiver with a fully digital beamforming (DBF) architecture for fifth-generation millimeter-wave communications is presented in this paper. The DBF-based massive MIMO transceiver is operated at 28-GHz band with a 500-MHz signal bandwidth...
