Abstract
Methods and apparatus provide a system having a lens antenna system configured to simultaneously form beams centered at different angles in space within a field of view (FOV) to provide angle of arrival information for each of the beams. The beam data is encoded and combined and digitized. The data is then split into channels for each of the beams and decoded processed.
Claims20
A system, comprising:
- a lens antenna system configured to simultaneously form beams centered at different angles in space within a field of view (FOV) to provide angle of arrival information for each of the beams;
- an encoder to uniquely encode data for each of the beams;
- a combiner to combine the encoded beam data;
- a receiver to digitize the combined encoded beam data;
- a splitter to split the combined encoded digitized beam data into channels each corresponding to one of the beams for the different angles;
- a decoder to decode the encoded beam data from the channels;
- and
- a processor to process the decoded beam data.
