Classification: CPC H  Y | IPC H

Claim 13:
14. An apparatus according to claim 1, wherein:
the antenna element is a first antenna element, the first signals are first antenna element first signals, and the second signals are first antenna element second signals;
the circuit is further configured to couple to a second antenna element among the antenna elements and to couple signals from the second antenna element concurrently as second antenna element first signals to the first QRA receive CS and as second antenna element second signals to the second QRA receive CS;
the circuit is further configured to include in the coupling of the signals from the first antenna element as first antenna element second signals to the second QRA receive CS, a first adjustable gain/phase, adjustable by a first beamforming weight, and to include in the coupling of the signals from the second antenna element as second antenna element second signals to the second QRA receive CS a second adjustable gain/phase, adjustable by a second beamforming weight;
the first QR samples of the first signals comprise at least first QR samples of the first antenna element first signals and first QR samples of the second antenna element first signals; and
the processor is further configured to
determine based at least in part on the first QR samples of the first signals an angle of arrival,
compute based at least in part on the determined angle of arrival the first beamforming weight and the second beamforming weight, and
provide the first beamforming weight and the second beamforming weight to the circuit.
