Channel extraction digital beamforming

Abstract

In an embodiment, a receiver included in a communications system is configured to receive a radio frequency (RF) signal from a phased array antenna, the RF signal comprising at least a portion of a plurality of data beams included in a single channel, and separate the RF signal into a plurality of channels in which each channel of the plurality of channels includes at least a portion of a respective subset of the plurality of data beams. The receiver is further configured to decode each data beam of the plurality of data beams with a respective phase and a respective time delay. The receiver is further configured to output the plurality of data beams of the plurality of channels.
