This thesis presents simulation data on array operation in wideband communication systems.
It is shown that array structures with closer inter-element spacing outperform structures with
much larger inter-element spacing. It is also shown that circular structures outperform linear
structures. This performance dierence between the classications of arrays is due largely
to the circular array s ability to handle high levels of interference. Even though a diversity
combining scheme (MRC) was used in the simulator, the arrays provided interference rejection
capabilities due to the closely spaced antenna elements.
