A transmitter uses adaptive array weights to modify a gain and a phase of a communication signal to produce a plurality of element communication signals coupled to antenna elements in an adaptive array antenna. The communication signal is transmitted along with an element pilot signal that is coupled to one of the elements in the adaptive array antenna. In a receiver, the communication signal is received, and the element pilot signal is received. Thereafter, the adaptive array weights used at the transmitter are estimated in response to comparing characteristics of the received element pilot signal to characteristics of the received communication signal.
A method in a receiver for estimating adaptive array weights used to transmit a communication signal from a transmitter in a wireless communication system, wherein the transmitter uses adaptive array weights to modify a gain and a phase of the communication signal to produce a plurality of element communication signals coupled to antenna elements in an adaptive array antenna, the method comprising the steps of:
