Abstract

In recent times, the use of Smart Antennas (SAs) The performance of an enhanced Recursive Least Squares (RLS) algorithm which takes into account an enhanced gain factor has been evaluated in this paper for adaptive array beamforming. Simulation results have shown that the enhanced RLS algorithm reduces a mean square error (MSE), smoothens a filter output and improves the Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR). The impact of these results can imply an increased range of beamforming and directivity of the smart antenna over a long range communication network.
