Adaptive antenna array quality estimation based on statistical analysis of phase distribution

Abstract

Assuming that the source of the wave is far enough and its wave front can be considered flat, knowing the phase difference for each antenna, and also theoretical dependence caused by the configuration of the adaptive antenna array, we can determine the quality estimation of each antenna. In this paper we describe the method of adaptive antenna array quality estimation, define applicability limits, the most important parameters of the antenna array and the waves affecting the reliability of the results.
