Next generation SDR interference reduction should be tackled by Spatial Interference Filtering Techniques. Here is why and how. Read more
Series: Spatial Interference Filtering Techniques
Use spatial filtering to reduce interference, especially from local RFI. I am calling this project SIFT.
Understanding Beamforming – Proven for Decades
Understanding beamforming is actually quite simple. It used to be about analog delay lines. Now it’s just a matter of complex math in your computer. Read more
Beamforming Everywhere – You’ll Be Surprised
Amazingly, you will find spatial filtering or beamforming everywhere. It’s used for wireless phones and networks, meeting rooms and even ultrasound. Read more
