The role and nature of adaptive antennas in ECCM
Abstract
Background information on the need for adaptive antennas is given. An introduction to the general theory of adaptive antennas is given. Their ability to reject interference through adaptive special filtering, i.e., automatically forming antenna pattern nulls in the direction of sources of interference, thereby reducing output noise and enhancing the detection of desired signals, is emphasized.
