Abstract :
The current status of digital beamforming (DBF) technology is reviewed. Particular attention is given to the advantages of DBF, including improved adaptive pattern nulling, superresolution, self-calibration, and array element pattern correction. DBF implementation is examined, and examples of DBF systems are mentioned
