An Algorithm to Select Element Locations of an Adaptive Array.

Abstract

An algorithm is presented which provides the appropriate element placement of an adaptive array such that the output signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) of the array is above a given threshold for all desired and interference signal directions. The algorithm is used to find interelement spacings of a linear as well as a conformal array. It is shown that the structure (scattered field) affects the performance of an adaptive array mounted on a complex structure such as an aircraft fuselage. A method to take care of these effects is presented.
