Abstract
A radio system is used for adaptive digital beamforming in a phased antenna-array. The radio system scales with large numbers of antenna elements in a phased array. The radio system uses a distributed computing method that is inherently scalable with large numbers of the antenna elements. The radio system includes a digital beamformer. The digital beamformer is an analog combiner, digital beamformer. The digital beamformer includes element processing hardware (EPH) which perform the distributed computing.
