Abstract :
This paper modified the simultaneous perturbation gradient approximation to develop a zero-knowledge beamforming algorithm for phased array system. The results showed that this modified algorithm has low complexity, robust, fast and accurate. It does not depend on the initial settings and the environmental conditions
