Abstract
An adaptive beamforming apparatus and method of an array antenna in a communication system. First, a tentative symbol decision value is obtained by processing a traffic signal vector, and a final updated coefficient value is obtained by performing a least mean square (LMS) algorithm at least once with respect to the tentative symbol decision value and a pilot signal vector on the assumption that the tentative symbol decision value is a transmitted symbol value. Then an adaptive beam which corresponds to a final symbol decision value is formed using the traffic signal vector and the final updated coefficient value.
