Abstract: Embodiments for a wireless node utilizing a limited memory radio frequency integrated circuit (RFIC) are disclosed. For an embodiment, the wireless node includes a plurality of antennas operative to form a plurality of wireless beams, wherein a direction of each of the plurality of wireless beams is controlled by selecting a phase and amplitude adjustment of a communication signal communicated through each of the plurality of antennas. The wireless node includes a memory that includes a first portion and a second portion, wherein phase and amplitude settings for each of the plurality of targets are stored in the first portion, and wherein alternate phase and amplitude setting are dynamically store in the second portion. Phase and amplitude settings are accessed from the first portion when the wireless node is communicating with targets. The second portion is utilized for storing alternate settings when testing wireless communication with the targets.
