Abstract

This paper describes an estimation of DOA(Direction Of Arrival) measurement system using DBF receiver with linear array antenna. This DBF receiver is composed of resistive FET mixer using low IF mettled. A radio frequency(RF), a local oscillator(LO) and ail intermediate frequency(IF) considered in this research are 2.09 GHz, 2.08 GHz and 10 MHz, respectively. This receiver is composed of a band-pass filter, a low-pass filter, a DC bias circuit. DOA measurement system is consist of linear array antenna, DBF receiver, AD control box and computer in the anechoic chamber. Receiving antenna is 4-array monopole antenna and DBF receiver is 4-Ch resistive FET mixer without amplifier. DOA algorithm is implemented using MUSIC algorithm with high resolution. We show that the results of DOA is $-30^{\circ},\;0^{\circ}$ and $60^{\circ}$, respectively. And we know that DOA estimation error occur by antenna radiation pattern and fabrication error of antenna array.
