Abstract
An integrated circuit may include a phase shifting/partial beamforming network circuit and a plurality of true time delay (TTD) circuits. The beamforming circuit may include a plurality of receive inputs. Each receive input may be coupled to one of a plurality of antenna elements. The beamforming circuit may include a plurality of receive/transmit connectors, each of which may correspond to a beam of a plurality of beams. The beamforming circuit may include a plurality of transmit outputs each of which may be coupled to one of the plurality of antenna elements. Each TTD circuit may include a first connection coupled to one of the receive/transmit connector outputs and a second connection coupled to one of a plurality of serial lines. Each TTD circuit may be configured to apply one or more of an integer delay or a fractional delay to data received from the receive/transmit connector or the serial line.
