The performance of a tripole adaptive array against cross-polarized jamming
Abstract
This report discusses the performance of an adaptive array using three mutually perpendicular dipoles (a tripole) against a cross-polarized jamming signal. The jamming consists of two statistically independent signals transmitted on orthogonally polarized antennas. It is shown that the adaptive array is least susceptible to such jamming if the desired signal is circularly polarized. It is most susceptible if the desired signal is linearly polarized.
