Adaptive Beam Antenna Communication Networks
Abstract
This study was devoted to assessing the feasibility of using an adaptive beam antenna system with a communication network to improve system performance. This assessment entailed developing beam acquisition algorithms, determining their practicality, and estimating their performance. Task objectives were to: (1) develop an integrated adaptive beam communication system. (2) determine the applicability of an adaptive beam antenna system, (3) determine the required adaptive beam antenna characteristics, and (4) define a demonstration system to be developed in Phase II of this effort. Keywords: C3I Communications; Adaptive beam antenna system; Millimeter waves; Microstrip antenna element; Phase arrays.
