Starting from the adaptive array theory, a particle swarm strategy is used to tune the phase coefficients of the array in order to adaptively minimize/avoid the effects of interfering signals at the receiver. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is assessed through a comparison with state-of-the-art methods.
