A compact Spatial Multiplexing of Local Elements (SMILE) scheme smart antenna array with adaptive beamforming is presented. Low-noise amplifiers are implemented as switching elements to maintain a low system noise figure and allow fast switching. The switching scheme effectively reduces N RF channels to one, reducing the amount of costly RF hardware by a factor of N. The sampling rate must be higher than the signal bandwidth based on the Nyquist criterion to ensure proper restoration of the original signal. Measured data for destination of arrival estimation, beamforming, and digital data recovery demonstrate the capability and benefits of digital beamforming with this architecture.
