Problems of the Presidium of the RAS (North Caucasus branch). E-mail: shteiz@mail.ru The energy characteristics of the adaptive antenna array with vector radiation pattern, performing reception of the desired signal with the known space-polarization characteristics, have been considered when the space-time forming of minima of the directional pattern in the direction of arbitrarily polarized interferences. When designing mathematical models it was assumed that the adaptive array antenna elements have multiple independent inputs for signals receiving. An expression for finding the output power of the adaptive antenna array in a quadratic form has been given. A method for selecting complex weights which maximize the signal/(interference + noise) in the case of reception of arbitrarily polarized desired signal and interferences has been proposed. It has been shown that the solution of the problem of adaptive interference suppression in the array with a vector directional pattern comes to maximization of the criterion, which is a ratio of Hermitian forms. The efficiency of this approach has been illustrated by the reception of the useful signal in the presence of 64-element adaptive antenna array. The antenna element consists of three mutually orthogonal thin dipoles with the aligned phase centers. The adaptive antenna array radiators are placed with a step equal to half of the operating wavelength. Analysis of the results indicates that consistent interference suppression occurs against increase the desired signal power. The proposed approach is universal and has no restrictions on the configuration of adaptive array antenna aperture. In the extreme case, increase the number of inputs to the two antenna elements allows extending the capabilities of the adaptive array antenna in suppressing of a large number interferences of linear polarization in two times. Increase the number of entries in the antenna element to three can solve the problem of maximizing of the signal/(interference + noise) ratio not only due to the formation of "zeros" vector pattern, but also by increasing the energy of the signal.
