Abstract: A Matrix Inversion Normalized Least Mean Square (MI-NLMS) adaptive beamforming algorithm was developed for smart antenna application. The MI-NLMS which combined the individual good aspects of Sample Matrix Inversion (SMI) and the Normalized Least Mean Square (NLMS) algorithms is described. Simulation results showed that the less complexity MI-NLMS yields 15 dB improvements in interference suppression and 5 dB gain enhancement over LMS algorithm, converges from the initial iteration and achieves 24% BER improvements at cochannel interference equal to 5. For the case of 4-element uniform linear array antenna, MI-NLMS achieved 76% BER reduction over LMS algorithm.

Key words: Smart antenna, Beamforming algorithm, Least Mean Square (LMS), Normalized LMS (NLMS), Matrix Inversion NLMS (MI-NLMS)
