The Square Kilometre Array (SKA) is the most sensitive Radio Telescope being deployed in the most radio-quiet parts of the world: African and Australian deserts. The Low-frequency component of SKA will operate from 50 MHz to 350 MHz and survey the sky with 500 independent beams. The core of the beamforming begins at the tile level that needs to produce up to 48 beams. This poster presents the salient features of our in house design efforts to incorporate 48 beams for the digital receiver of the SKA namely the tile processing module (TPM).
