Analog phased array beamformer core
Maturity plannedTargets ASIC (CMOS) onlyDifficulty Very hardPriority 2
Multi-channel RF beamformer with per-channel phase shifter, variable gain amplifier, combiner and transmit/receive switching.
Planned. This block is specified in the catalog with its interfaces and targets. No implementation exists yet; the skeleton command below generates a lint-clean shell with its ports and registers.
Interfaces
| Port | Direction | Kind | Width | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ctrl | in/out | APB control bus | 32 | Control and status registers, including ID, VERSION and STATUS |
| irq | out | interrupt | 1 | Interrupt request |
| common | inout | RF | 1 | |
| elements | inout | RF | 8 | |
