A phased array computing system can include a mounting surface with a plurality of antenna disposed thereon. The mounting surface can include motion sensors disposes at a plurality of different sensor positions to detect the changes to the mounting surface. The system can receive motion data generated by the motion sensors. The system can compute, based on the motion data location offsets for the motion sensors from their original positions on the mounting surface. The system can compute a deformed position for each antenna on the mounting surface using the location offsets for the motion sensors. The system can update, based on the deformed positions, a signal model associated with the antennas to compensate for deformations at the mounting surface during sensor processing.

Real-time deformation adjustments for phased antenna array

The present invention is an architecture and method for radio frequency (RF) simultaneous transmit and receive applications that uses linear and nonlinear modeling to generate a very accurate, wideband analog signal that cancels self-interference before it is digitized by the receiver. In addition to this digitally assisted analog cancellation, another layer of signal cancellation is provided with digital blind source separation. Adaptive signal processing continuously monitors the level of cancellation and updates the processing to provide optimal performance in changing conditions (e.g., rapidly changing frequency content, signal power, temperature, etc.). Signal cancellation can be performed on extremely broadband signals providing high levels of cancellation, enabling a full-duplex RF transceiver. Furthermore, the present invention optionally includes an external signal canceller for cancelling unknown interference such as jamming.

The present invention is a computationally-efficient compensator for removing nonlinear distortion. The compensator operates in a digital post-compensation configuration for linearization of devices or systems such as analog-to-digital converters and RF receiver electronics. The compensator also operates in a digital pre-compensation configuration for linearization of devices or systems such as digital-to-analog converters, RF power amplifiers, and RF transmitter electronics. The multi-dimensional compensator effectively removes linear and nonlinear distortion in these systems by accurately modeling the state of the device by tracking multiple functions of the input, including but not limited to present signal value, delay function, derivative function (including higher order derivatives), integral function (including higher order integrals), signal statistics (mean, median, standard deviation, variance), covariance function, power calculation function (RMS or peak), or polynomial functions. The multi-dimensional compensator can be adaptively calibrated using simple arithmetic operations that can be completed with low processing requirements and quickly to track parameters that rapidly change over time, temperature, power level such as in frequency-hopping systems.
