Abstract

Containing an Angle-of-Arrival(: AOA) estimation and interference suppression techniques, an adaptive beamformer is one of core techniques for the Signal Intelligence(: SIGINT) which collect various intelligence utilizing cutting edge devices including the radar and satellite. It generates a beam with the directivity in a corresponding direction, to efficiently receive a signal from the specific direction, using antenna array. In this paper, we present the received signal model including interference signals and noise, which can be applied to an input of the signal intelligence satellite system equipped with the AOA estimation and the interference cancellation techniques, and analysis the characteristics of various signals, which can be included in the proposed received signal model. This proposed signal model can be directly applied to the performance evaluation for a variety of beamforming techniques. Also, we verify the spectrum characteristic of the presented received signal model in the frequency domain through computer simulation examples.

신호의 도래각(AOAm Angle-of-Arrival) 추정 및 간섭제거 기술 등이 기반이 되는 적응 빔형성기 (Beamformer)는 레이더, 위성 등을 포함한 각종 첨단장비를 활용하여 다양한 정보를 수집하는 신호정보수집(: Signal Intelligence, SIGINT)의 핵심기술 중의 하나이다. 빔형성 기술은 안테나 어레이를 이용하여 특정 방향으로 부터의 신호를 효율적으로 수신하도록 해당 방향으로 지향성(directivity)을 가질 수 있게 빔을 생성하는 기술이다. 본 논문에서는 도래각 추정기법 및 간섭제거 기술 등이 탑재된 신호정보 수집 시스템의 입력으로 사용되는 간섭과 잡음이 포함된 수신신호 모델을 제시하고, 이 수신신호에 포함될 수 있는 다양한 신호들에 대한 특성을 고찰하고 분석한다. 제시된 신호 모델은 다양한 빔형성 기술에 대한 성능평가에 직접적으로 적용될 수 있다. 또한, 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 통해 제시된 수신신호 모델에 대한 주파수 영역에서의 스펙트럼을 확인한다.
