High resolution capability of adaptive antenna arrays for communication systems
1 Institute Applied Mathematics & Cybernetics, Nizhny Novgorod, Russia
Abstract
In this paper we investigate comparison methods of different geometric configurations of adaptive antenna arrays for communications on purpose to estimate directions-of-arrival (DOA) of several external signals. The investigated antenna configurations have four elements and eleven wavelengths array size. The best high-resolution algorithm and the best array configuration are defined by numerical simulations.
