Application of Adaptive Least-Squares Algorithm to Multi-Element Array Signal Reconstruction
Arun Kumar R · NASA STI Repository (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) · 1989
Results are presented in terms of the performance improvement of a multi-feed array configuration over the usual single feed system when an adaptive least-squares algorithm is applied for the signal reconstruction. Two versions of the least-squares algorithm are presented, one of which is based on the maximization of the signal-to-noise ratio while the other is based on the deconvolution of received signal field. These algorithms were developed for the purpose of minimizing degradations arising from various sources, which can severely limit the performance (gain) of a single-feed system.
