  • Patent number: 5218359
    Abstract: An adaptive array antenna having a plurality of antenna elements (1-1 through 1-N), related weight circuits (4-1 through 4-N) for weighting amplitude and phase of receive signal by each antenna element, and a combiner (5) for combining weighed signals, has a plurality of antenna beams at the same time by determining weights of said weight circuits, so that a plurality of receive signals due to multipath transmission are received for obtaining high receive level while avoiding multipath interference.

  • Patent number: 4893350
    Abstract: An interference cancellation system has a combiner which removes an undesired component from a main signal including both a desired signal and an undesired signal received by a main antenna. A power sensor measures output power of a main signal. A weight control circuit is coupled with an output of the power sensor. An auxiliary antenna receives an undesired signal. A variable complex weight control circuit adjusts an undesired signal from the auxiliary antenna according to the output of the weight control circuit to provide an input signal to the combiner. The variable complex weight control circuit operates so that the output power becomes a minimum.
