In this paper, we propose a novel centralized beamforming control system, using optical true time delay pools (OTTD-Ps), for multiple base stations (BSs) of wireless communication with phased array antennas (PAAs). In this proposed system, the predesigned OTTD-P with an interconnection matrix and a...
