ABSTRACT:
Adaptive arrays with an automatic adaptive loop gain control to reduce the degradation in performance in reducing the effects of multipath and interference in communications receivers when the gain of any of the adaptive loops change with a change in the average level of any of the input signals of the adaptive array. As the input level of any of the input signals of the adaptive array changes, the associated adaptive loop gain control(s) reduces the change in the adaptive loop gain from the optimum gain value to improve adaptive array performance. When signal conditions and/or component configurations cause the levels of the input signals to be different from input to input of the adaptive array, the performance of the adaptive array is improved further by also equalizing the input signals.
