ABSTRACT:
An adaptive array apparatus (100) that has a weight converge on an optimal value is provided. The adaptive array apparatus repeatedly adjusts the weight using predetermined calculations so as to minimize a difference between a desired signal and a combined signal which has been weighted with the weight. A parameter control unit (71) judges whether an adjusted weight is located closer to an optimal value than a reference value, and according to the judgment result, changes a step size which is used in the predetermined calculations performed by a reception weight calculating unit (72), to determine the extent to which the weight should be adjusted. With this construction, the adaptive array apparatus can increase convergence stability and speed in calculating a weight, and the weight converges on an optimal value.
