| 1. A method for reducing distortion of an input power level determination of signals in a selected channel of at least one
of the wideband input signals of a smart antenna allowing signals outside said selected channel to be received by said smart
antenna where said smart antenna reduces interference in only said selected channel and includes processing a desired signal,
said method including the steps of:
a. adapting said smart antenna using a representation of said wideband input signals including signals in said selected channel
and at least one signal outside said selected channel that generates a smart antenna output signal in said selected channel
including said desired signal with said smart antenna reducing interference only in said selected channel;
b. correlating a representation of at least one of said wideband input signals with a representation of said smart antenna
output signal generated in step a. that separately generates a correlator output signal for each associated one of said wideband
input signals; and
c. detecting the signal level of at least one said correlator output signal generated in step b. that separately generates
a representation of said input power level of signals in said selected channel of each associated one of said wideband input
signals.
