Abstract: A serially fed front end (FE) network is provided. The serially fed FE network includes a first FE comprising a first FE input/output (IO), a second FE IO, and a first antenna IO coupled to a first antenna element of a plurality of antenna elements. The first FE IO of the first FE is electrically coupled to a particular beamformer (BF) IO of a BF. The serially fed FE network includes a second FE comprising a first FE IO coupled to the second FE IO of the first FE, a second FE IO of the second FE, and a second antenna IO coupled to a second antenna element of the plurality of antenna elements. The BF is communicatively coupled by the serially fed FE network to transmit to and/or receive signals from the first and second antenna elements of the plurality of antenna elements.

Abstract: Systems and Techniques are provided for a radio frequency input/output (RFIO) circuit. An example RFIO circuit can include an a receive (Rx) path comprising a low noise amplifier (LNA). The example RFIO circuit can include a transmit (Tx) path comprising a power amplifier (PA). The example RFIO circuit can include a balun configured to RF couple an RFIO terminal to the Rx path or to the Tx path. The one or more selection components are configured to selectively enable the Rx path or the Tx path.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are provided for hybrid beamforming. An example method can include determining a plurality of digital beamforming weights associated with a plurality of digital beamforming paths between digital beamformers and groups of analog beamforming circuits in a phased array antenna, each digital beamforming path being coupled to a group of analog beamforming circuits and each analog beamforming circuit being coupled to a respective set of antenna elements of the phased array antenna, and determining analog beamforming weights associated with the groups of analog beamforming circuits. The analog beamforming weights are estimated to put analog beamforming paths associated with the groups of analog beamforming circuits in a desired phase and gain relationship with each other.

Abstract: A photometer for measuring photometric magnitudes in a liquid medium includes a housing adapted to be introduced into the medium for on-site measurements; and light-emitting measuring beam transmitter and receiver that are arranged behind opposing measuring windows in a measuring slot in the housing, in which the slot is open to the medium. A measuring beam is generated in a measuring conduit in the measuring slot. A reference conduit is included for a reference measurement which is separate from the measuring conduit. At least one carrier part for the measuring beam transmitter and the measuring beam receiver is provided to move on a given path in the housing. The carrier part is constructed to move on the given path from the measuring conduit to the reference conduit and back, for measuring intensity values of the measuring beam in the measuring conduit and in the reference conduit.
