Abstract
A digital beamforming network for transmitting a first number of digital information signal using a second number of antenna array elements is disclosed. Assemblers are used for assembling one information bit selected from each of the information signals into a bit vector. Digital processors have an input for the bit vector and a number of outputs equal to the second number of antenna elements and process the bit vector. Finally, modulation waveform generators coupled to each of the second number of outputs generate a signal for transmission by each antenna element.
