5G Massive MIMO and BeamformingCourse Description

This short course is designed to introduce the main concepts behind 5G Massive MIMO and beamforming. This will be considered on a high-level basis, with focus on beam creation, as well as key aspects such as the 5G NR (New Radio) SSB (Synchronization Signal Block) location. Finally, Beam Management in 5G is briefly described, including the concept of Beam Sweeping in 5G NR.
