Vertical Beamformer Simulation

Abstract

The performance of an all-digital beamformer for a 12-element line array has been investigated for several combinations of steering angle, frequency, and the number of bits carried at various points in the beamforming operation. The results are compared with a completely linear system, and with a linear system with discrete delay intervals and averaging between taps.
