The enhanced six-port receiver: A new concept for simultaneous data reception and direction of arrival detection

Summary form only given, as follows. The key benefits of the six-port receiver architecture are its high bandwidth and low circuit complexity. This concept has been known on the one hand for precise phase measurement applications and on the other hand for complex valued data reception in the millimeter wave region. The work presented here shows a new approach for combining both principles in one six-port receiver. A method for simultaneous data reception and direction of arrival (DOA) detection will be presented.
