Abstract :
The nulling bandwidth of adaptive arrays with tapped delay-line processing is examined. Linear arrays with up to 10 elements are considered. It is shown how the number of taps in the delay lines and the amount of delay between taps affect the nulling bandwidth. For each size of array, the optimal number of delay-line taps and the optimal intertap delays are determined as functions of the required nulling bandwidth
