Multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) technology has been adopted by many wireless systems to exploit the spatial diversity of the channel. This application note shows an efficient implementation of beamforming functionality on AI Engine arrays in Xilinx® Versal™ AI Core devices. The proposed architecture consists of three kernels with slight differences and is scalable to various matrix sizes and throughput requirements. The design methodology is applicable to many use cases requiring high-throughput matrix multiplication including, but not limited to, 5G wireless communication.
