Abstract

Estimation of unknown signal parameters with sensor array measurements has been investigated quite extensively. Also, there has been in recent years an explosive increase in the number of mobile users in wireless cellular systems, thus contributing to growing levels of multi-user interference. To overcome this problem, application of adaptive antenna array techniques to further increase the channel capacity has been discussed. In this paper, a new model of locally scattered signals in the vicinity of mobiles is proposed by defining the mean steering vector and is manipulated mathematically for several distributions. Under this model an estimation method of the angle of arrival(AOA) is investigated based on a weighted subspace fitting(WSF) technique. Statistical analysis and simulations are also considered.

센서 배열을 이용하여 모르는 신호 매개변수들을 추정하는 것에 대한 연구가 광범위하게 진행되어 왔다. 또한 최근에는 셀룰러 시스템의 이동통신 이용자 수가 폭발적으로 증가되어, 다중 사용자로 인한 간섭이 매우 커지고 있다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위한 방법으로 채널 용량을 더 증가시키기 위한 안테나 배열기술의 응용이 연구되고 있다. 이 논문에서는 이동국 근처의 국소적 산란 신호의 새로운 모형을 평균 조정 벡터를 이용하여 만들고, 몇 가지 분포에 대한 수학적 유도를 하였다. 이 모델에서 신호 도래각의 추정은 weighted subspace fitting(WSF) 기법에 바탕을 두었고, 통계적 분석과 모의실험을 통해 성능을 보였다.
