Adaptive algorithm for smart antenna system

Abstract

This paper presents a comparative study of two adaptive algorithms, Linear Constraint Minimum Variance (LMCV) and the Minimum Variance Distortionless Response (MVDR) applied to the smart antenna system. These algorithms are studied in terms of power while tracking the desired signal. In this case, we used a system with three upcoming signals containing the desired signal, whose position changes constantly, and two signals considered as interference. The simulation result shows that the MVDR technique provides better results than LMCV by creating a beam forming that follows the desired signal through its movement preserving an adequate power.
