STEERABLE NULL CONTROL TECHNIQUES

A COMPREHENSIVE INVESTIGATION IS PROPOSED TO EXAMINE THE APPLICABILITY OF MULTIPLEXING TECHNIQUES TO ADAPTIVE ANTENNA NULLING ARRAYS, STARTING WITH PREVIOUS ZEGER-ABRAMS WORK IN THIS AREA AS A BASIS. SEVERAL ARRAY CONTROL ALGORITHMS, WITH EMPHASIS ON THE LMS ALGORITHM, WILL BE EXAMINED IN CONJUNCTION WITH SEVERAL MULTIPLEXING APPROACHES. THE COMBINATIONS WILL BE COMPARATIVELY EVALUATED BASED ON THEIR ACHIEVABLE NULL DEPTH, CONVERGENCE SPEED, AND PROJECTED IMPLEMENTATION COMPLEXITY. THE MOST ATTRACTIVE COMBINATION WILL BE SELECTED FOR DETAILED DEFINITION FROM WHICH A HARDWARE FEASIBILITY MODEL COULD BE BUILT IN A SUBSEQUENT PHASE.
