Using Non-Uniformly Spaced Antenna Sensors to Mitigate the Effect of Multipath propagation

ABSTRACT Multipath propagation has a significant effect on the performance of wireless communication systems. This paper an analysis of the performance of adaptive array of antenna sensors is carried out and a method to mitigate the effect of multipath propagation using an adaptive array antenna is presented. It is shown that by controlling a number of active elements and their spacing the array’s capability to eliminate scattered signals can be enhanced in the presence of pointing errors.
