Abstract
The authors introduce a novel adaptive antenna scheme. The technique involves the use of a fast digital processing algorithm in an adaptive feedback loop arrangement to compute updates for an analogue beamformer weighting circuit. This ensures a scenario-independent convergence performance, and because of the feedback path, can accommodate beamformer circuit errors and nonlinearities without undue degradation of the achievable cancellation performance
