Adaptive Beam Former Algorithms for Smart Antennas

Abstract — Adaptation algorithms that adjust the adaptive filters coefficients in order to minimized the associated error norm. In this paper we have discussed the two main adaptation algorithms least mean square (LMS) and recursive least square (RLS) algorithms. These two common algorithms that have found widespread application are least squares.LMS algorithm is a linear adaptive filtering algorithm which involves the automatic adjustment of the Parameter of the filter in accordance with estimation error. RLS algorithm is used in adaptive filters to find the filter coefficients that relate to recursively producing the least squares of the error signal and estimate the desired output results.These algorithms to reduce the mean square between the input signal and reference signal.we have also discussed formulation of the LMS algorithm, convergence and stability of the LMS algorithm and RLS algorithm. Key words: Adaptation algorithms, least mean square, recursive least square, smart antenna I.
