  • Patent number: 9628164
    Abstract: A system for beamforming employing true time delay. The system includes a deserializer configured to receive a serial data stream and to convert the serial data stream into a plurality of parallel data streams, a zero-insertion block configured to insert zeroes into each of the parallel data streams, and a crossbar switch having a plurality of inputs and an equal number of outputs. The inputs are connected to the zero-insertion block, each of the outputs corresponding to one of the inputs. The crossbar switch is configured, in a first state, to connect each output to the corresponding input, and in a second state, to connect each output to an input different from the corresponding input, the set of outputs being a circular shift of the set of inputs.

  • Publication number: 20160218733
    Abstract: A system for converting several analog signals to digital signals using a single analog to digital converter. Each of the analog signals is encoded, using multiplication, with a different binary code, and the encoded analog signals are summed, and converted to digital form by an analog to digital converter. Multiple digital data streams are then formed from the digital output stream produced by the analog to digital converter, by forming correlations of the digital output stream with each of the binary codes.
