The theory associated with DBF's ability to manipulate the appearance and response of an antenna pattern seems almost mystical, but progress is being made in translating the theory into practice. Several DBF applications and hardware advances in several adjunct fields deserve special recognition.
Andrew SciComm (Garland, TX) has developed various beamforming technologies for both military and commercial applications. An HF Digitally Adaptive Beamforming subsystem is a case in point. This M antenna system is able to null up to M-1 undesired (jamming) signals and form a beam directed at a desired signal location. The typical system consists of four to as many as eight ...
