Systems and methods are provided for utilizing randomized array offsets in phased arrays

Abstract

Systems and methods are provided for utilizing randomized array offsets in phased arrays. A phased array based system may include a plurality of antenna elements arranged in two-dimensional array, and a plurality of transceiver circuits, with each transceiver circuit configured for handling transmission and reception of radio frequency (RF) signals via the plurality of antenna elements. One or more transceiver circuits in the system may be configured for applying one or more randomized adjustments to one or more particular signal processing related functions applied during the transmission and reception of RF signals. The randomized adjustments may include randomized offsets to conversions applied during processing of transmitted and/or received signals. The conversion may include one or both of digital-to-analog conversions and analog-to-digital conversions. The offsets may be randomized based on indexes identifying corresponding antenna elements.
