The design of a multiple-output transmitter for digital beamforming (DBF), Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) and channel sounder applications, based on Direct Digital Synthesis (DDS) system is presented and investigated in terms of antenna array performance. DDS generates independently modulated signals on specific carrier frequencies and is employed as the first stage in the proposed implementation, furnishing output signal of configurable amplitude, phase and frequency. The resulting phase progression, amplitude and beamforming accuracy of a beam steering array are further investigated, showing that the proposed architecture can provide a steering beam with high accuracy. Experimental results of system performance indicate that this architecture can drive efficiently and accurately an antenna array with independent modulated RF signals, with programmable frequency, initial phase, and magnitude.
