The structure of the antenna pattern of an adaptive array
Abstract
The antenna pattern of a receiving adaptive array is investigated for the case of its operation in an environment of one desirable narrow-band signal and (K-1) narrow-band jammers. Results show that the adapted (voltage) antenna pattern of the array is a linear combination of k (or less) basis-patterns, each of which is a function of one source only. It is determined that these basis-patterns have a simple physical meaning in that the k-th basis-pattern is the pattern formed by the array when the transmission of source k is considered a desired signal and all other sources are turned off.
