Abstract
This paper presents efficient robust broadband antenna array pattern synthesis techniques with interference cancellation capabilities. The synthesis techniques are able to place multiple broad nulls and isolated point nulls at regions of interest for interference cancellation. The new synthesis algorithms result in improved performance broadband antenna array processors. The presented synthesis techniques are computationally more efficient than the existing synthesis techniques. The paper includes numerical simulations that demonstrate the performance of the new techniques compared to existing methods.
