Abstract
A general-purpose integrated circuit capable of scaling to meet the requirements of a beamforming system for a wide range of applications and benefit from economies of scale is disclosed. The integrated circuit includes a delay and phase correcting engine in order to reference the incoming data to a common array center and steering direction. It also includes a frequency channelization engine to perform phase-shift beamforming tasks effectively and/or frequency channelize the output data stream. A flexible reconfigurable routing logic can be included, which allows a multiplicity of operation modes, and generates a multiplicity of linear combinations of the input and internally generated data streams.
