This book describes a unique approach to smart receiver system design. It starts with the analysis of a very basic, single-path receiver structure, then using similar methods, extends the analysis to a more complicated multi-path receiver.

Enables readers to design a smart phased-array receiver system, using spatial to frequency mapping techniques Provides a generalized phased-array receiver simulation that enables analog and digital co-design Discusses a flexible phased-array structure with both analog and digital beam-forming properties Describes a real, low-cost integrated solution of the 30GHz phased-array front-end system and verifies its performance Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
