Adaptive Array Bandwidth with Tapped Delay-Line Processing.
Abstract
The report discusses tapped delay-line processing in adaptive arrays. Such processing is being considered as a method for improving the bandwidth of adaptive arrays. The SNR performance of a two-element array with four types of processing (quadrature hybrids, single quarter wavelength delay-lines, 3-tap delay lines and 5-tap delay lines) is compared. It is shown that for two elements a half wavelength apart, a quadrature hybrid processor and a single quarter wavelength delay-line processor are inadequate at 10% bandwidth. A 3-tap processor is adequate, however, up to 40% bandwidth.
