EFFICIENT COMPUTATION OF THE WEIGHTS OF A WIDE-BAND ANTENNA STRUCTURE

A novel algorithm for adjusting the array coefficients of a space time array is introduced, which works in parallel and gives higher output signal-to-noise ratios than conventional approaches. It requires only the inversion of one correlation matrix with a size equal to the numbe r of antenna elements M, independent of the number of temporal stages R. Its computational complexity is therefore O{M-3} instead of the O{( MR)(3)} for the conventional approach.
