Abstract
Time-Interleaved ADCs are essential for new generation mm-wave digital beamforming receivers offering multi-GHz bandwidths for radar sensing or high data rate communication links. Timing mismatches is one of the main performance limitations of these ADCs. Especially for large beamforming arrays they can become bottleneck for system power and area. This work analyzes timing errors in digital beamforming receivers and introduces a novel correction algorithm that takes advantage of the array of ADCs and the beamforming function together. The proposed algorithm suppresses significantly the impact from timing mismatches with low complexity enabling major power savings for massive DBF arrays.
