I'm not sure just what you mean by "software defined antenna" but Vic 
Kean, K1LT, has been using an array of short vertical antennas fed to 
multiple ADCs and phased in software to receive on the 160M amateur 
band.  I don't have URLs handy, but I know he's made some postings about 
his work.  Searching for "K1LT" and "SDR" would be a good start.
