The employed geometry seems to be suitable for a reliable and effective implementation of adaptive arrays in mobile devices thanks to its symmetry and geometric simplicity. For validation purposes, the proposed architecture is evaluated in the presence of a complex time-varying scenario both in terms of synthesized beam patterns and signal-to-interference-plusnoise ratio.
