Butterfly Neural Filter Applied to Beamforming

The butterfly neural beamformer (NB-Butterfly) is a new adaptive multiple-antenna spatial neural filter inspired on the neural butterfly equalizer (NE-Butterfly), a filter intended to equalize any channel that has real or complex taps, whether linear or nonlinear. Due to the broad use cases of the N...
