A method for adapting antenna arrays
Abstract
A method is proposed for estimating the optimum (with respect to the S/N ratio) weight vector of a summator integrating the array elements. The method is designed for the case where a set of the eigenvalues of the correlation matrix of noise is divided into subsets of large and small values and the number of elements in each of the subsets is known. Asymptotic expressions characterizing the efficiency of the method under normal noise conditions are presented.
