What is Beam steering?

5G beam steering is a process of directing radio waves from a transmitting antenna towards a receiving antenna. The process is accomplished by controlling the phase and/or amplitude of the waves emitted from each element in the antenna array. The aim is to create a beam of radio waves that is directed towards the receiving antenna, while minimising interference to other nearby receivers.
