Abstract
Aspects of a method and system for beamforming a broadband signal through a multiport network are provided. In this regard, a plurality of signals received via a plurality of antennas may be detected and a plurality of transmit signals may be generated, wherein a phase of at least one of the plurality of transmit signals is responsive to at least one of the detected phases of the received signals. Each of the generated plurality of transmit signals may be separately amplified to generate a plurality of amplified signals. A plurality of the amplified signals may be input to a plurality of first ports of a multi-port network, wherein at least one second port of the multi-port network may be responsive to signals input to at least two of the plurality of first ports.
