Abstract
The performance of adaptive antenna arrays in the presence of weak interfering signals (below thermal noise) is studied. It is shown that conventional adaptive antenna arrays sample matrix inversion (SMI) algorithm is used are unable to suppress such interfering signals. To overcome this problem, the SMI algorithm is modified. In the modified algorithm, the covariance matrix is redefined such that the effect of thermal noise on the weights of adaptive arrays is reduced. Thus, the weights are dictated by relatively weak signals. It is shown that the modified algorithm provides the desired interference protection.
