Abstract

See full text

In accordance with an example, an integrated circuit includes a linear combiner having an input for receiving a signal. The linear combiner also has a plurality of operator circuits for applying weighting factors to the signal, in which a first operator circuit in the plurality of operator circuits performs a first operation on the signal using a first sub-weight of one of the weighting factors to provide a first tile output and a second operator circuit in the plurality of operator circuits performs a second operation on the signal using a second sub-weight of the one of the weighting factors to provide a second tile output. The linear combiner also has an adder having a first input coupled to receive the first tile output and the second tile outputs and providing a combined output.
