Current Capabilities of Digital Beamforming
Abstract
This paper surveys the current state of the art of digital beamforming (DBF) with an emphasis on current capabilities and practical implementation techniques. Digital control of phased arrays in both receive and transmit modes will be covered, including such key issues as hardware, integration, processing load, and cost. The viability of future trends in DBF will be examined in terms of feasibility and cost of the enabling technologies of adaptive hardware and embedded software.
