Abstract: This paper proposes and conceptualizes the use of Quadrature baseband (QBB) beamforming in 5G mmWave Networks as an alternative to Radio Frequency (RF) beamforming. The QBB beamforming is compared in terms of performance to the RF beamforming using antenna gain, throughput and bandwidth as performance metrics. The concept considers beamforming at QBB for four (4) arrayed antennas propagating signals in the mmWave frequencies, at 28GHz
