Abstract
Smart antenna technology can be applied for compensation of phase errors in digital airborne data communication when directional antenna arrays are installed on vibrating wing structures. The key elements of the smart technology are a real-time measurement system for the phase errors related to position errors of the antenna elements and a real-time adaptive phase-shifting system for the compensation of the phase errors.
