摘要： Methods, systems, and devices for past event signal tracking are described. In some examples, a system may receive feed element signals corresponding to a set of feed elements of an antenna. To support a primary or real-time mission, the system may process the feed element signals according to a first beamforming configuration to generate spot beam signals, which may include communications scheduled for respective spot beams. To support a retroactive or searching mission, the system may also store the feed element signals for some duration. Based on a determination to search for a target signal from a target location within a coverage area of the antenna, the system may process the stored feed element signals according to a second beamforming configuration to generate a target spot beam signal corresponding to the target location, and evaluate the target spot beam signal for a presence of the target signal.

摘要： Frequency-dependent changes in beam shapes of transmitted RF signals can be provided to a receiving device. Beam shape information can include, for example, gain of a beam and a plurality of azimuth and elevation directions, boresight and width of a main lobe (and optionally side lobes) of the beam, information regarding a pattern of antenna elements of an antenna panel used to transmit the beam, and/or similar information. The type of information provided can dictate the amount of overhead required, and we therefore vary depending on the means by which the information is conveyed. Additional detail is provided in the embodiments described herein.
