Partially adaptive array techniques

The selection of auxiliary elements for partially adaptive antenna arrays for the purpose of optimizing performance in a multiple narrow-band jammer environment is studied. An explicit solution for the two-jammer problem is derived. This case is sufficient to illustrate the interaction of multiple jammers and at the same time affords a degree of understanding of more complex problems. Computer solutions are also presented and discussed for several line array and planar array configurations.
