Abstract:
The present disclosure is directed towards an analog beamformer multiple beam feed (MBF). The analog beamformer MBF comprises a plurality of encoder elements to receive radiofrequency (RF) signals and generate coded analog signals. The RF signals may be coded using code division multiple access (CDMA) codes. The analog beamformer MBF further comprises a combiner to combine the coded analog signals received from the plurality of encoder elements and a divider to receive the combined coded analog signals and generate a plurality of coded analog outputs. The analog beamformer MBF further comprises a plurality of decoder elements to receive the plurality of coded analog outputs and generate decoded analog signals. In some embodiments, the RF signals may be decoded using CDMA codes. The analog beamformer MBF further comprises a plurality of beamformer elements configured to generate beam outputs corresponding to the decoded analog signals.
