Abstract:
A system comprises a first transceiver circuit, a second transceiver circuit, and a first data bus. The first transceiver circuit is configured to receive first signals from first antenna elements, beamform the first signals to generate a first beamformed signal, downconvert the first beamformed signal as part of generation of a first downconverted beamformed signal, and transmit the first downconverted beamformed signal onto the first data bus. The second transceiver circuit is configured to receive second signals from second antenna elements, beamform the second signals to generate a second beamformed signal, downconvert the second beamformed signal as part of generation of a second downconverted beamformed signal, receive the first downconverted beamformed signal via the first data bus, and combine the first downconverted beamformed signal and the second downconverted beamformed signal to generate a combined signal for demodulation.
