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 50):
A digital beam forming chip, comprising:\n 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; and wherein said digital baseband beam forming channels are configured and operable to apply at least time delays of selective magnitudes to baseband signals associated with the data streams encoding the waveform signals, which are 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 encoded with said data streams respectively; wherein at least one digital baseband beam forming channel of said one or more digital baseband beam forming channels comprises a time delay module configured and operable to process said baseband signal at a certain sampling rate, and is capable of introducing selected time delays having time resolution higher than said certain sampling rate; said time delay module comprises an adjustable time delay re-sampler module configured and operable for delaying said baseband signal by a component of said time delay that includes a fraction of the time delay which is smaller than a sampling time period being one over the certain sampling rate of the digital baseband beam forming channel; thereby enabling to apply said beamforming with time delay resolution exceeding said certain sampling rate.
