Abstract: An antenna system has N antenna units stacked on a mast. Each unit has elements for responding to, e.g., GPS signals, and a phasing network that produces mutually orthogonal primary and auxiliary pattern modes at corresponding mode ports of the unit. A number of power dividers are each associated with a different mode, and each divider has N input ports coupled to the associated mode port of a corresponding antenna unit. The power divider associated with the primary pattern mode produces a reference beam and an auxiliary beam, and remaining power dividers produce different auxiliary beams. All beams have approximately both a common phase center and a common group delay center. An adaptive processor combines the reference and selected auxiliary beams to obtain a composite antenna reception pattern in which nulls are inserted at certain angles to suppress interfering signals, without degrading authentic signals arriving at other angles.

Abstract: A reduced-size GPS antenna with anti-jam capabilities includes eight inclined monopole elements making available a primary and seven auxiliary antenna patterns usable with multi-pattern adaptive processing for anti-jam operation. An excitation network coupled to the eight monopole elements can be configured to provide the eight antenna patterns having quadrature characteristics with low mutual coupling. Bent monopoles or other elements may also be utilized. With availability of the primary and auxiliary patterns, multi-pattern adaptive processing can be employed during airborne operations to actively provide reduced-gain pattern notches or nulls to track incident angles of interference or jamming signals. In other embodiments selected combinations of less than all of the eight antenna patterns or other patterns may be employed.

Abstract: An adaptive time delay control system is provided for matching the propagation time delay between two samples of a signal traveling through two independent paths so that they can be coherently combined for additional signal processing functions such as cosite interference cancellers, adaptive interference cancellers and adaptive beam formers. The adaptive time delay control system and associated method advantageously provide improved continuous matching of the two channels over a wider adjustment range while preserving both convergence speed over the full range and minimum jitter upon convergence by using composite autocorrelation functions to control (adjusting) a matching time delay in one channel.
