Abstract

In this paper, DOA(direction of arrival) of multiple incident signals received from linear array antenna and circular array antenna, which is based on nonparametric estimation algorithm, and adaptive beam-forming algorithm are studied and analyzed. In nonparametric estimation algorithm, we minimize a regularized objective function for finding a estimate of the signal energy as a function of angle, using nonquadratic norm which leads to supper resolution and noise suppression. And then, DOA is estimated by the signal and noise spatial steering vector, and adaptive beam-forming pattern is improved by weight vectors obtained from the spatial vector. Especially, the discrimination ability of DOA and the adaptive beam-forming ability according to antenna array methods and the number of array elements are compared and considered.

본 논문에서는 비변수 추정 알고리즘을 토대로 선형배열 안테나와 원형배열 안테나로부터 수신되는 다중신호의 DOA와 적응 빔성형 알고리즘을 연구하고 분석하였다. 비변수 추정 알고리즘에서는 입사각의 함수로써 신호에너지를 추정하기 위하여 고분해능과 잡음억압을 도출하도록 비이차놈을 사용하여 규칙화 목적함수를 최소화하였다. 그리고 나서, 신호와 잡음공간 조정벡터로부터 DOA를 추정하였고, 공간벡터에 의하여 도출된 가중치 벡터를 적용하여 적응 빔성형 패턴을 개선하였다. 특히, 안테나 배열방법과 배열소자의 수에 따라 입사되는 다중신호의 방향성 판별 능력과 적응빔을 성형하는 능력을 비교하고 고찰하였다.
