摘要：Adaptive arrays are antenna arrays with smart signal processing techniques, which are used in manywireless communication applications. Many signal processing techniques have been used to steer the array pattern inlook direction by adjusting the weights of the signal without user intervention. Weights of signal processor can beautomatically adjusted by simple adaptive beamforming techniques. One of the most commonly used beamformingtechnique is least mean square (LMS) algorithm. LMS algorithm has low computational complexity. However, itsconvergence rate is slow. In this paper a novel implementation scheme for LMS algorithm is simulated, whichdecreases the mean square error (MSE) and increases convergence speed. This proposed algorithm is called four stageLMS algorithm. Four stage LMS algorithm for beamforming is simulated using MATLAB and compared with existingLMS and dual stage LMS algorithm. From simulation results we infer that the convergence of proposed algorithm isbetter compared to LMS and dual stage LMS algorithms.
