METHOD AND DEVICE FOR PHASING AND EQUAL-SIGNAL DIFFERENTIAL AUTOMATIC TRACKING OF NON-UNIFORM DIGITAL ANTENNA ARRAY FOR RECEPTION OF WIDE-BAND SIGNALS Russian patent published in 2018 - IPC H01Q21/00 

FIELD: radio engineering and communications.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to radio engineering and can be used to receive broadband signals. Device comprises a receiver, a beamforming processor, a memory, a data bus, a control computer, an address decoder, a clock generator, a local oscillator, and a set of signal reception paths from antennas that are part of the antenna array. Moreover, each of the signal reception paths is connected to a data bus, and the control computer, the address signal decoder and the clock generator are common for each of the signal reception paths. Said signal reception path includes two antenna signal sampling units associated with the address decoder, the control computer, receiver and antenna control grids in the azimuth and elevation angle, with the address decoder, the control computer, the receiver is associated with delay blocks of the pulse train, one for each sampling channel.

EFFECT: technical result consists in increased speed of a antenna phasing unit when receiving broadband signals from the antenna field.
