An apparatus substantially updates all the phase shifter values of a phased array antenna by using “global write” to update these parameters to all phased-array transformation circuits simultaneously via a serial bus. Antenna elements, each controlled by a phased-array transformation circuit, are individually configured to transform phase and gain according to a register array. The register array has a local register group and a central register group, the local registers physically placed close in proximity to RF chains which each correspond to an element of array antenna, whereby each set of local registers control an individual antenna element and a central register controlling overall beam steering function. The apparatus is configured to efficiently elaborate phase shift weights into a submodule of a phase array antenna system with low noise and bandwidth.
A system comprising a processor circuit for control over an antenna element array by generation of an first operand and a first global write command and a second operand and a second global write command;
A method for control of a Phased-Array Transformation (PhAT) circuit with a non-transient parameter store in which are antenna weight values which have stored during test, manufacturing, installation, tuning, or off-line maintenance, the method comprising for a range of antenna beam directions,
A method for operation at a host processor communicatively coupled to a plurality of submodules, the method further comprising:
