Abstract
A receiving apparatus, a receiving method, and an imaging apparatus and method, adapted to receive high frequency image signals. The apparatus includes two or more receiver channels, each receiver channel including an antenna pattern including plural antenna elements to receive high frequency image signals, a receiving mechanism to process the high frequency image signals received by the antenna elements into baseband signals, an analog-to-digital conversion mechanism to convert the baseband signals from the receiving mechanism into digital signals, a phase shifting mechanism to phase shift the digital signals, and a combining mechanism to combine the phase shifted digital signals from the receiver channels into combined signals.
