Abstract

Two-element adaptive antenna and associated multi-element antenna systems are examined under a unique test-bed which can generate effects similar to terrestrial and low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite environments. The results show that the adaptive antenna and associated systems can effectively reduce errors even if the experimental environments include human body influence and incoming signals at high elevation angles
