    Abstract: A wireless communication device with hybrid beamforming and a control method thereof are provided. The wireless communication device includes a plurality of antennas, a beamforming digital circuit, a plurality of radio frequency (RF) chains, a beamforming analog circuit, a controller and a storage. The RF chains receive signals processed by the beamforming digital circuit to generate antenna signals. The RF chains are connected to a part or all of the antennas through the beamforming analog circuit to transmit the antenna signal to the corresponding antennas. The number of the RF chains is smaller than the number of the antennas. The storage stores a plurality of candidate analog codebooks. The controller selects one of the candidate analog codebooks as a selected analog codebook according to scenario or environmental information, and adjusts the beamforming analog circuit according to the selected analog codebook.
