Abstract:
Various embodiments are generally directed to techniques to dynamically configure a modular antenna array (MAA) for multiple independent uses. An MAA may include a plurality of antenna modules, each of the antenna modules comprising an array of antenna elements coupled to a radio frequency (RF) beamforming circuit, the RF beamforming circuit to adjust phase shifts associated with the antenna elements to generate an antenna beam associated with the antenna module, a dynamic configuration unit to receive an indication of a usage for a one of the plurality of antenna modules, and a main beamforming unit coupled to the dynamic configuration unit and each of the antenna modules, the main beamforming unit to generate signal adjustments relative to the one of the plurality of antenna modules to control the antenna beam associated with the one of the plurality of antenna modules based at least in part on the usage.
