Multi-Antenna Subsystem for Software Defined Radio

A multi-antenna system for a SDR system comprising:

• an RF/IF subsystem coupled to a multi-antenna;
• a modem subsystem configured to process input data from the RF/IF subsystem;
• and
• a multi-antenna subsystem configured to form a beam by controlling the RF/IF subsystem, wherein the multi-antenna subsystem includes a plurality of functional units to control the multi-antenna system, and wherein the plurality of functional units includes:
• a control functional unit configured to control algorithms which are executed by a digital signal processor and the RF/IF subsystem;
• a synchronization functional unit configured to execute a calibration and a symbol synchronization;
• and
• an algorithm functional unit configured to execute an algorithm which is required to form the beam and in multi-antenna system.
