Abstract
A cascadable beamformer with the capability to cooperate with one or more cascadable beamformers to build a customized beamforming apparatus. The architecture supports a cascadable beamformer with a covariance estimate logic that supports cascading multiple devices together to support different numbers of input channels, a weighted sum logic that supports cascading multiple devices together to support different numbers of input channels, and a weighted sum logic that supports cascading multiple devices together to support different numbers of output beams.
