摘要: A scalable and/or reconfigurable true-time-delay analog beamformer system having a hierarchical distributed control architecture composed of an arbitrary number and units. The may be applied to antenna array with elements in manner the configuration implemented so that it is capable reconfiguration by changing its beam-position mapping, either dynamically or at install-time. beams beam positions are desired advantageously do not need known prior design selection system.
