Abstract

This paper discusses randomly placed antenna array elements for direction of arrival and adaptive beamforming determination. Random array structures are discussed with various configurations. This work can be extended to space applications using a cluster of small satellites that are not aligned together in a standard linear or planar geometrical configuration but in some random fashion.
