1. An apparatus for transmitting data using a millimeter wave channel, the apparatus comprising:

  • a transmitter (TX) antenna module;

    a communication-capability-determination module which determines a communication capability of a receiver (RX) antenna module of a receiving station based on communication-capability data transmitted by the receiving station;

    an antenna-control module which controls the TX antenna module according to a beam-forming mode determined based on the communication capability of the RX antenna module and a communication capability of the TX antenna module; and

    a communication module which transmits data through the TX antenna module,wherein the beam-forming mode determines whether to transmit a TX antenna weight vector (AWV) pattern, whether to receive a feedback response pattern and whether to transmit an RX AWV pattern.
