Abstract:
A novel digital baseband beam forming system is disclosed including a plurality of digital baseband beam forming channels configured and operable for connecting via channel ports to a plurality of antenna channels associated with respective antenna elements for at least one of transmitting and receiving through the plurality of antenna elements one or more waveform signals encoding data streams. The digital baseband beam forming channels are configured and operable to apply at least one of phase and time delays of selective magnitudes to baseband signals associated with data streams encoding the waveform signals transmitted and/or received by the plurality of antenna elements, thereby beamforming said waveform signals to produce, by said waveforms, one or more data encoded beams associated with respective directions of propagation and encoding said data streams re spectively. The digital baseband beam forming system may be implemented in chip (e.g. Silicon chip) and may be configured and operable for constructing scalable array comprising a plurality of such beamforming chips connectable to a respective group of antenna elements of an antenna array for carrying out at least one of transmitting and receiving beam formed waveform signals by the respective group of antenna elements.

Claim (Index 56):
The digital beam forming chip of  claim 55 , wherein at least one of the following:\n each digital compensation channel is respectively selectively connectable in between selected one or more of the digital baseband beam forming channels and at least one channel port of the chip; and wherein chip comprises an antenna channel combining/distributing module configured and operable receiving beamforming configuration instructions indicative of said selected one or more of the digital baseband beam forming channels, and selectively connecting said selected one or more of the digital baseband beam forming channels to said at least one channel port via said digital compensation processing channel; each digital compensation processing channel comprises a respective equalization module adapted for adjusting respective phases and gains of different frequency components of the baseband signal communicated in between the at least one digital baseband beam forming channel(s) and the at least one channel port associated the digital compensation processing channel; said adjusting is performed in accordance with respective frequency response of the antenna channel coupled to the channel port; at least some of said digital compensation processing channels are operable in the transmission mode and comprise respective non-linear pre-distortion modules, each being adapted to adjust at least one of amplitudes and phases of respective symbols communicated therethrough, so as to compensate for a non-linear distortion applied to the symbol by an amplifier of the antenna channel coupled to the respective channel port; said digital baseband beam forming channels are configured and operable for processing said baseband signal in and in-phase and quadrature (I/Q) representation, and wherein each digital compensation processing channel comprises an I/Q correction module configured and operable for compensating over at least one of gain and skew errors in said I/Q representation of the baseband signals.
