Abstract (en)

The invention relates to a phased array antenna signal processing structure. The structure comprises a processor that includes a digital beam forming unit for generating partial beam data from digitized samples of a set of phased array antenna elements. The processor further comprises a set of input terminals for receiving intermediate beam data from another processor. The processor also comprises an adder for generating new intermediate beam data by adding partial beam data generated by the digital beam forming unit to corresponding received partial beam data. In addition, the processor comprises a set of output terminals for transmitting the new intermediate beam data.
