Abstract
A micro-diverse directional antenna array positioned proximately upon the boundary of a convex shape whereby the primary attenuation lobes of neighboring antennae overlap. This creates a situation in which the reception of signals by said array from the space-time-delay domain of transmission can be effectively modeled as a banded linear transformation upon discretized space-time-delay domain of transmission yielding the antenna reception at discrete time steps.
