Abstract

A wireless repeater with an antenna array determines the antenna weights to modify the spatial selectivity of the antenna array to reduce interference and improve the quality of signal reception. The antenna weights are determined using an error minimizing algorithm to minimize the error between a desired receive signal and a reference signal or an adaptive metric optimization algorithm to calculate adaptively antenna weights to minimize the signal-to-noise ratio of a desired receive signal.
