Abstract

By measuring the GPS antenna pattern, based on the minimum variance distortionless response adaptive beamforming principle, An easy method to suppress the mutual coupling between array antenna elements and the amplitude and phase errors was presented in this paper and the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm was validated in a four-element linear equispaced array and circular array and simulation results show the performance of this method.
