Frequency Compensation in an Adaptive Antenna System for Frequency-Hopping Communications

For the full exploitation of an adaptive antenna system forwideband frequency-hopping communications, some form offrequency compensation is necessary. Parameter-dependent,spectral, and anticipative processing are the three methods offrequency compensation that are examined; their strengths,limitations, and variations are discussed. The underlying adaptivealgorithm is the Maximin algorithm, which has major advantagescompared with other algorithms.
