  • Patent number: 11658717
    Abstract: One example includes a phased-array antenna system (10). The system includes antenna elements (16) each including an element adjustment circuit (24) and a radiating element (114). A beamforming network (14) receives a carrier signal and generates element carrier signals. A baseband DSP (22) generates a plurality of composite beamforming data signals associated with a respective one of the antenna elements (16) and is generated based on combining individual beamforming data signals. Each of the individual beamforming data signals is associated with a respective beam and is based on combining a data signal associated with the respective beam with an antenna weight associated with the respective beam and the respective one of the antenna elements (16).
    Type: Grant
