Abstract:A VLSI implementation of an integrated complete adaptive beamforming processor and QAM demodulator is presented. The adaptive beamforming processor includes variable number of adaptive beamforming channel combining, a fully writable training processor, a programmable adaptive beamforming control processor, and a microcontroller interface. Interleaving area intensive blocks such as the Nyquist filters and multipliers is often employed to save chip area and thus enable the integration of all these features into … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
