Abstract: Methods and systems are described herein for adaptive beamforming and interference mitigation using a time synchronized scalable cohered on-array processing system (“system”). The system may be a phased array implementing a software-defined radio using multi-input-multi-output antenna elements. The system includes multiple subarray elements which are configured into a tiered array of scalable subarrays that performs intermediary collation, coherence, noise reduction, and adaptive beamforming operations through processor nodes disposed between tiers. The intermediary collation operations process discrete portions of node excitation data to enable the phased array to generate an adaptive beam profile that directs high-directionality beams toward desired targets while adaptively partitioning interference sources between subarray elements.
