  • Apparatus, methods and computer program for evaluating multiple null forming antenna processors and jammers
    Patent number: 5940033
    Abstract: An automated interactive antenna patterning apparatus depicts adaptive array antenna patterns and selects adaptive antenna array characteristics. The apparatus comprises an antenna modeling means building an adaptive antenna description, representing a number of antenna elements, means for determining angle-of-arrival, means for rank-ordering, means for sorting, means for antenna patterning and data output means providing composite antenna patterns for each array receiver. The adaptive antenna patterning apparatus better determines adaptive null steering antenna patterns produced in the presence of numerous interference sources.
