  • Abstract
    A digital beamforming (DBF) prototype that uses compact and low cost Balanced Antipodal Vivaldi Antenna (BAVA) array and SiGe based-receiver is presented. An example is given for a Ku-band DBF system that demonstrates simultaneous reception of two or more full motion videos in a portable device.
