To increase the transmission speed in wireless data transmission systems, it
is necessary to change either the bandwidth or the spectral efficiency, or
both simultaneously. Systems based on Multi-Input Multi-Output (MIMO)
methods can significantly increase spectral efficiency through parallel
transmission using several transmitters and receivers. Such systems are
particularly attractive for use in underwater acoustic communications
systems, which are normally bandwidth-reduced. MIMO system along with OFDM
(Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplexing) is a popular technology used in
wireless networks to provide a high data transfer rate and resistance to
multipath and fading of the channel. The implementation of such a system
requires being aware of the channel condition at the receiver, and can be
provided by means of using channel parameter estimation schemes. The
adaptation task on the receiving side, apart from peak of pattern formation
in the direction of the signal expected, also includes the
interference-source suppression, that is, the issue of implementing spatial
filtering of interference from other directions. However, since the signal
and noise direction of arrival are unknown, we get a system with adaptive
antenna array (AA). In the proposed research, a phase antenna array was used
with controlled weighing.
