发明名称 SWITCHED ANALOG-DIGITAL ARCHITECTURE FOR WIRELESS ANTENNA ARRAYS AND METHODS FOR USE THEREOF
摘要 Exemplary apparatus can be provided that can comprise a plurality of antennas; a plurality of conversion systems, each capable of accepting and/or producing one or more digital signals; a circuit (e.g., radio circuit) configured to couple the antennas to the conversion systems; and computer arrangement configurable to selectively control operation of the conversion systems according to one or more predetermined criteria. In some embodiments, the conversion systems can be configured to utilize different sampling rates and/or quantization resolutions and/or to accept and/or produce different numbers of digital signals. Exemplary conversion systems can be enabled/disabled such that one or more can operate simultaneously based on, e.g., subframe timing of received signal, predetermined schedule, power or energy of received signals, availability of reference signals, channel coherence time, and apparatus energy consumption. Further, exemplary methods and computer-readable media can be provided embodying one or more procedures the apparatus is configured to perform.
