Summary:A modular millimeter-wave radio frequency (RF) system comprises a plurality of active antenna arrays for receiving and transmitting millimeter-wave RF signals; and a plurality of RF sub-modules for performing at least up and down conversions of intermediate frequency (IF) signals and controlling the plurality of antenna arrays, each of the plurality of RF sub-modules is connected to an antenna array of the plurality of antenna arrays, wherein the plurality of RF sub-modules are chained to each other through a first transmission line and one of the plurality of RF sub-modules is connected to a baseband module through a second transmission line, each of the first transmission line and the second transmission line transfers a multiplexed signal including an IF signal, a local oscillator (LO) signal, a control signal, and a power signal.
