Abstract
In an embodiment, an apparatus includes a digital beamforming section. The digital beamforming section is configured to encode each data beam of a first plurality of data beams of a first channel with a first plurality of respective time delays and phases to generate an encoded first plurality of data beams and encode each data beam of a second plurality of data beams of a second channel with a second plurality of respective time delays and phases to generate an encoded second plurality of data beams. The second plurality of data beams is different from the first plurality of data beams. The apparatus includes a channel combiner, electrically coupled to the digital beamforming section, and configured to generate a combined channel comprising an aggregation of at least a portion of the encoded first plurality of data beams and at least a portion of the encoded second plurality of data beams.
