ABSTRACT:
Digital phased array architecture and associated method are disclosed that eliminate the necessity of utilizing analog phase shifters in the receive and transmit signal paths. Desired delays are instead generated by adjusting the timing of sampling signals sent to analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) and digital-to-analog converters (DACs) in the receive and transmit signal paths.
