In this paper, single group multicast (broadcast) phase-only transmit beamformer design with antenna subset selection is considered. The problem is converted into a linear form and solved efficiently by using mixed integer linear programming to find the optimum subset of antennas and beamformer vector. Several experiments are done and it is shown that the proposed approach is effective and efficient.
