Patent abstract
Methods and systems for thinning the output of an array antenna are disclosed. The thinning can be applied in response to determining that the performance of a multiple element antenna array with respect to a desired signal has been compromised by the presence of one or more interfering signals. The application of a thinning pattern has the effect of turning off selected antenna elements within the array. The effect of applying a particular thinning pattern on the realized performance of the antenna system can be determined. An alternate thinning pattern can be applied if the previous thinning pattern did not result in an improvement, or a sufficient improvement, in the performance of the antenna system.
