If you're into antenna #beamforming, then you must add Jon Kraft's demo's and python examples to your reading pleasure.

Welp, I was today years old when I learned that #beamforming can mean something other than what I learned in router school. In other news, these things *cannot* be better than my Presonus Eris studio monitors.

New video! What benefits can you get out of having a radar system that has the ability to generate multiple beams of various different shapes?

In past Tech Talks, I've talked about the basics of radar and the basics of beamforming. Now, let's put them together and look at some of the ways that digital beamforming has improved radar systems.

#TIL via https://arunraghavan.net/2016/06/beamforming-in-pulseaudio/ that the echo cancellation module of #PulseAudio can also do #beamforming #dsp : https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/PulseAudio/Documentation/User/Modules/#module-echo-cancel

That is pretty nifty. If your device has more than one microphone (like many thinkpads), this allows to focus them into a spatial direction, attenuating sounds from other directions!

💫 Beamforming allows #5G networks to focus their signal on specific devices, improving speed and reducing interference.

Exciting stuff for the future of #connectivity!
