<description>Individually sampled quadrature components of received voltage in each channel of the array are coherently summed with phase shifting to form a beam in the given direction. The receiver voltages are sampled within a broad band between 10 and 90 MHz, that is split in sub-bands for individual processing and report. Effectively, LOFAR in this operational mode behaves as a large set of receivers operating in different subbands.</description>
