Abstract
This PhD work presents a potential architecture
and implementation for an FPGA-based all digital antenna
array transmitter for wireless radio communications. By enabling
the design of antenna arrays without external Digital-to-Analog
Converters (DACs), external upconversion stages and without
complex layouts, the analog front-end can be summed up to just
amplification, filtering and radiation.
