Title :
A Two-Antenna Low-If Beamforming MIMO Receiver
Author_Institution :

Abstract :
We present a two-antenna MIMO receiver using analog beamforming while allowing for multiple data-stream communication. The proposed architecture advantageously combines the concepts of analog beamforming and MIMO communication, leading to lower complexity and power consumption compared with a conventional two-antenna MIMO receiver.
