Each RF chain 310Ra-n of the RFIC 306 may be associated with a corresponding antenna of the antenna array 308 and include corresponding receiver circuitry (i.e., receiver RF chain) and corresponding transmitter circuitry (i.e., transmitter RF chain) for performing corresponding transmit/receive functions across a corresponding CC 220. The transmit circuitry and receive circuitry may be separate circuitry from one another or the corresponding RF chain may include circuitry that combines the transmit/receive functions. The number of transmitter RF chains and receiver RF chains may provide N×M MIMO antenna configurations where N(≥1) is the number of transmitter RF chains and M (≥2) is the number of receiver RF chains. The receiver circuitry and transmitter circuitry of each RF chain 310Ra-n may include, without limitation, low noise amplifiers (LNA), down converters, filters, variable gain amplifiers (VGA), analog-to-digital converters (ADC), digital-to-analog converters (DAC), or power amplifiers (PA). The ADC/DAC outputs/inputs associated with each RF chain 310Ra-n may be processed by a corresponding baseband resource 310Ba-n of the baseband IC 304. Each baseband resource 310Ba-n may be configured to perform MIMO processing, turbo decoding, and/or other digital signal-processing algorithms for signal reception and recovery. In the example shown, the number of baseband resources 310Ba-n is equal to the number of RF chains 310Ra-n. Accordingly, each transceiver resource 310 may collectively refer to a corresponding baseband resource/RF chain pair or may individually refer to either a corresponding baseband resource or a corresponding RF chain.
