In this paper, we present a low-cost, portable, and programmable SDA that allows for accessible research and experimentation in real time. The proposed platform is based on a 16-element phased-array transceiver operating across 24-29.5 GHz, integrated with a radio-frequency system-on-chip board that provides data conversion and baseband signal-processing capabilities. All radio-communication parameters and phased-array beam configurations are controlled through a high-level application program interface. We present measurements evaluating the beamforming and communication link performance. Our experimental results validate that the SDA has a beam scan range of -45 to +45 degrees (azimuth), a 3 dB beamwidth of 20 degrees, and support up to a throughput of 1.613 Gb/s using 64-QAM. The signal-to-noise ratio is as high as 30 dB at short-range distances when the transmit and receive beams are aligned.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2409.11480v1","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2409.11480v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"a-mmwave-software-defined-array-platform-for","repo_url":"https://github.com/alphansahin/mmWaveSDR/tree/main/design_pynq_28GHz","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"none","reach":null},{"paper_slug":"a-mmwave-software-defined-array-platform-for","repo_url":"https://github.com/alphansahin/mmwavesdr","is_official":0,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
