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 66):
The beamforming chip of  claim 50 , comprising beamforming logic processor module comprising a central processing unit (CPU) and a storage section; and\n wherein a beamforming logic processor module connectable to a control input port of the chip and configured and operable for carrying out one or more of the following: processing beamforming control instructions provided via said control input port data indicative of one or more beams to be produced by the system and operate the beam former channels of the chip to introduce corresponding delays to the baseband signals processed thereby for forming said beams; processing at configuration instructions provided via said control input port data indicative of predetermined allocation of said beam formers to said channel ports for enabling production of predetermined number of beams of predetermined bandwidth or beam width, and allocations of said data-streams to said predetermined number of beams and operating antenna channel combining/distributing module of said chip to allocation of said beam formers to said channel ports, and operating a data channel combining/distributing module of said chip to direct said data-streams, which are allocated to said beams, to/from respective beamformer channels associated with the production of said beams respectively; processing analogue channel calibration parameters associated with artifacts of analogue channels of an RF frontend module connectable to said chip via said channel ports to determine correction parameters to be applied to signals of said channel ports and operating a plurality of digital compensation processing channels of said chip based on said correction parameters for digitally compensating for said artifacts of the analogue channels of the RF frontend module.
