Synthesis and Array Processor Realization of a 2-D IIR Beam Filter for Wireless Applications

Abstract
A broadband digital beamforming algorithm is proposed for directional filtering of temporally-broadband bandpass space-time plane-waves at radio frequencies (RFs). The enhancement of desired waves, as well as rejection of undesired interfering plane-waves, is simulated. A systolic- and wavefront-array architecture is proposed for the real-time implementation of second-order spatially-bandpass (SBP) 2-D infinite impulse response (IIR) beam filters having potential applications in broadband beamforming of temporally downconverted RF signals. The higher speed of operation and potentially reduced power consumption of the asynchronous architecture of wavefront-array processors (WAPs) in comparison to the conventional synchronous hardware has emerging applications in radioastronomy, radar, navigation, space science, cognitive radio, and wireless communications. Further, the bit error rate (BER) performance improvement along with the reduced computational complexity of the 2-D IIR SBP frequency-planar digital filter over digital phased array feed (PAF) beamformer is provided.
