    Abstract: A phased-array antenna panel has front end modules mounted on a Printed Circuit Board (PCB). Several phased-array processing die, transform phase and gain according to a register array in an RFIC on the PCB. The register array are grouped into a local register group and a global register group. Each set of local registers control an individual antenna element and a global register group controls overall RFIC function. The apparatus elaborates phase shift weights into a submodule of a phased-array antenna system. Each submodule determines its own base phase shift weight per its unique location and configuration to accelerate antenna beam direction changes.

    Abstract: An array antenna system consists of layered construct of subarrays. Each beam pointing angle requires an antenna weight vector (AWV). A circuit tracks the changing orientation of a beam within a much larger virtual array of antenna weights. A row or column of a local RAM may be determined to be least likely to be read next and is overwritten with antenna weights more likely to be read next. An address translation circuit represents the RAM as a barrel. An adaptively adjusted antenna weight method optimizes received signal power. A beam splitting method provides a mirror beam pointing direction by wrapping around a look ahead table of antenna weight vectors when an antenna is itself gyrating or when a remote transceiver is anticipated to transit the horizon.

    Abstract: An apparatus substantially updates all the phase shifter values of a phased array antenna by using “global write” to update these parameters to all phased-array transformation circuits simultaneously via a serial bus. Antenna elements, each controlled by a phased-array transformation circuit, are individually configured to transform phase and gain according to a register array. The register array has a local register group and a central register group, the local registers physically placed close in proximity to RF chains which each correspond to an element of array antenna, whereby each set of local registers control an individual antenna element and a central register controlling overall beam steering function. The apparatus is configured to efficiently elaborate phase shift weights into a submodule of a phase array antenna system with low noise and bandwidth.

    Abstract: A method of operation for a hierarchically elaborated phased-array antenna. Within a plurality of front end modules a phased-array processing die individually transforms phase and gain according to a register array. The register array in each RFIC is grouped into a local register group and a global register group, the local registers physically placed close in proximity to RF chains which each correspond to an element of array antenna, whereby each set of local registers control an individual antenna element and a global register controlling overall RFIC function. The method efficiently elaborates phase shift weights into a submodule of a phase array antenna system. Within each subarray phase control submodule the method recursively elaborates weights to control phase shifters. The method receives and transforms pairs of major operators and minor operators. The method distributes to each submodule determining its own base phase shift weight per its unique configuration.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for implementing a system cache within a memory controller. Multiple requesting agents may allocate cache lines in the system cache, and each line allocated in the system cache may be associated with a specific group ID. Also, each line may have a corresponding sticky state which indicates if the line should be retained in the cache. The sticky state is determined by an allocation hint provided by the requesting agent. When a cache line is allocated with the sticky state, the line will not be replaced by other cache lines fetched by any other group IDs.
