Abstract
In an apparatus for adaptively controlling an array antenna of M antenna elements, a multi-beam forming circuit calculates N beam field strengths in a known manner, and a beam selecting circuit selectively outputs beam field strengths not smaller than a predetermined threshold value by comparing the N beam field strengths with the threshold value. At least two adaptive control processors calculate N weight coefficients corresponding to N beams according to a constant modulus algorithm, respectively multiplies the calculated beam field strengths by the calculated N weight coefficients, and combines in phase respective signals of multiplication results, outputting the combined signal as a reception signal. In an initial state of one adaptive control processor, a weight coefficient thereof corresponding to the maximum beam field strength is set to a predetermined initial value not zero, and weight coefficients corresponding to the other beam field strengths are set to zero. In an initial state of the other adaptive control processor, a weight coefficient of the other adaptive control processor corresponding to at least a beam field strength having the second greater level is set to the initial value, and weight coefficients corresponding to the other beam field strengths is set to zero.
