Abstract :
In this paper a new type of adaptive antenna is presented, which is intended for use in mobile receivers. A nonlinear, adaptive, analog feedback controller has been developed to control the phase relationship between the two receiving elements. Both the controller and a complete RF prototype are described in this paper.
