METHODS AND SYSTEMS TO PRODUCE FULLY-CONNECTED OPTICAL BEAMFORMING - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240235636 titled 'METHODS AND SYSTEMS TO PRODUCE FULLY-CONNECTED OPTICAL BEAMFORMING
Simplified Explanation:
This patent application describes a method of beamforming where a signal is received into an array of channels, each split into real-part and imaginary-part sub-channels. Optical waves carry the signal via waveguides in each sub-channel. The real-part sub-channel scales an optical wave by the real part of a complex number, while the imaginary-part sub-channel scales a complementary optical wave by the complex part of the same complex number. By applying different phases to each channel, the signal can be beamformed.

Original Abstract Submitted
a method of beamforming by which a signal can be received into an array of channels, each of which is split into a real-part sub-channel and an imaginary part sub-channel. in each sub-channel, optical waves are used to carry the signal via waveguides. each channel includes a real-part sub-channel where an optical wave is scaled by the real part of a complex number, and an imaginary part sub-channel, where a complementary optical wave is scaled by the complex part of the same complex number. when the complementary optical waves are received at the channel's output, they can be shifted by the phase of the complex number having defined their scaling. by processing a signal with a system operative to perform such method, the application of a different phase to each channel can result in a beamforming of the signal.
