| Abstract: | A set of arbitrarily located receiving antenna elements, each connected with an appropriate network, can be used to construct a matched filter where the antenna array response results in an autocorrelation of a specified desired signal, correlating over time and space coordinates simultaneously. A receiving system using such a signal processing antenna can discard interferences which do not have the same spectral characteristics as the desired signal, or which do not originate from the same point as the desired signal source. Examples of correlating antenna arrays for various arbitrary intelligence modulations of the desired signal are discussed in this communication. |
