Abstract :
A new two-stage beamformer for coherent signal reception is proposed. The first stage extracts all the coherent signals from an antenna array using their direction-of-arrival information, and then the resultant signals are coherently combined in the second stage. Simulation results are included to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed technique.
