Abstract:
An analog beamforming receiver may include a first receive element coupled with circuitry for sequentially adjusting at least one of a phase or a gain of a signal. The analog beamforming receiver may also include a second receive element coupled with circuitry for sequentially adjusting at least one of a phase or a gain of the signal. The analog beamforming receiver may further include a combiner coupled with the first receive element and the second receive element for combining the phase or gain adjusted signals to form a combined analog signal. The analog beamforming receiver may also include an analog to digital converter coupled with the combiner for converting the combined analog signal into digital samples. The analog beamforming receiver may further include a demultiplexer coupled with the analog to digital converter for demultiplexing the digital samples from the analog to digital converter into a plurality of demultiplexed signals.
