The TX and RX antenna placement described above can be used to create a large, 192- element (12 TX x 16 RX) virtual antenna array. Figure 26 and Figure 27 describe the RX, TX and resulting combined virtual antenna array offsets in terms of lambda offsets. This information is useful when constructing a TX beam-form or MIMO AWR chirp, profile and framing scenario.
All antenna position offsets are in terms of lambda. Where lambda is the free-space wavelength at 78.5 GHz, or 153.56 mils. This lambda was chosen as a compromise between the AWRx RF lower 76 GHz, and higher 81 GHz range.
