A phase adaptation algorithm
Abstract
A simplified adaptive receiving antenna array is considered for which the element signal phases are adjustable but the amplitudes are not. An algorithm for determining the phase adjustments necessary to bring the signals into coincidence is presented. For an array of N + 1 elements, the algorithm requires that the power at the summed output of the array be measured for 6N + 2 test adjustments of the phase shifter array.
