Time multiplexed beam-forming with space-frequency transformation

This book describes a unique approach to smart receiver system design. It starts with the analysis of a very basic, single-path receiver structure, then using similar methods, extends the analysis to a more complicated multi-path receiver. Within the multi-path structure, two different types of phased -array architectures are discussed: Analog beam-forming, and digital beam-forming. Thepros and cons are studied, and the gaps are identified. Whereas previous books in this area focus mainly on phased-array circuit implementations, this bookfills a gap by providing a system-level approach and introduces new methods for developing smart systems. INDICE: Introduction.- Basic Concepts.- Single and multipath receiver: a system approach.- Two-step beam-forming: multiplexing architecture.- Multiplexing architecture, ideal behavior.- Multiplexing architecture, non-ideal behavior.- Designs for the 30GHz components.- System integration and verification.- Conclusion.
