Abstract

A single chip diversity beamforming antenna array processor is disclosed. The processor utilizes low-power and low area circuits to achieve combining gain mitigate the effects of multipath fading, provide spatial suppression, and provide diversity gain to a single input receiver. The device is radiofrequency transparent yet provides antenna gain by selective three G and four G code acquisition and tracking of a desired downlink channel.
