  • Sparse space-time adaptive array architecture
    Patent number: 10054666
    Abstract: A sparse multichannel array includes a plurality of array elements, a receiver behind each array element, and a Doppler filter bank behind each receiver, whereby within each Doppler bin is placed spatial nulls at selected angles of undesired interference. The invention enables Doppler processing to be performed on sparse arrays, such as nested or coprime arrays, used in nonlinear adaptive beamforming to mitigate the impact of unintentional interference and hostile jamming on the received signal.
    Type: Grant
