Abstract
A time delay-phase shift combination beamformer for applications where the required time delays for time delaying the received signal to achieve coherency exceed the reciprocal of the incoming signal's bandwidth, and having a time delay stage for coarse beamforming at a particular range and first beam direction and a phase shift stage for fine beam steering in a second direction at the particular range.
