beamforming
Last modified: Wednesday, February 11, 2009
In aeroacoustics, beamforming is a signal processing technology that is used to direct
the reception or transmission (the signal energy) on a transducer array in a
chosen angular direction. Beamforming concentrates the array to sounds coming
from only one particular direction to listen to sounds in one direction and
ignore sounds in other directions. Beamforming is one of several technologies,
as well as smart antennas and MIMO, that is used boost the range and capacity of
WiMAX by providing a better signal-to-noise (SNR) ratio.
Beamforming Basics Beamforming is just what the name sounds like, no pun intended.
Create beam-forming smart antennas using FPGAS If you could squeeze two or three times more cellular telephone conversations into the same amount of bandwidth, how much would that be worth?
