RF BEAMFORMING TOPOLOGY - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240235632 titled 'RF BEAMFORMING TOPOLOGY
The patent application describes systems for vector modulated beamforming that are space-efficient and provide high channel isolation. These systems may implement I/Q vector modulation downstream of receive signal summation and/or upstream of transmit signal division. By performing I/Q modulation on a transmit signal before dividing it among multiple transmit channels, or on a receive signal after multiple receive channels have been summed, fewer I/Q modulators than channels are needed, resulting in a space-efficient beamforming architecture with low channel crosstalk.
- Vector modulated beamforming systems implemented in a space-efficient manner with high channel isolation.
- I/Q vector modulation performed downstream of receive signal summation and/or upstream of transmit signal division.

Original Abstract Submitted
described herein are systems for vector modulated beamforming that may be implemented in a space-efficient manner and with high channel isolation. in some embodiments, systems described herein may perform i/q vector modulation downstream of receive signal summation and/or upstream of transmit signal division. implementing i/q modulation on a transmit signal prior to dividing the transmit signal among multiple transmit channels, and/or on a receive signal after multiple receive channels have been summed to form the receive signal, may use fewer i/q modulators than channels, such as a single i/q modulator. having fewer i/q modulators than channels results in a space-efficient beamforming architecture having low channel crosstalk and/or permits use of a simple i/q modulator calibration procedure. alternatively or additionally, in some embodiments, channel summing and/or dividing circuitry in systems described herein may be coupled between amplification circuitry and i/q vector modulation circuitry to advantageously use fewer i/q modulators than channels.
