초록

위상 배열 안테나는 다수개의 안테나 소자를 선형 혹은 평면(격자형 혹은 원형)으로 배열하여 각 소자에 대한 위상을 전자적으로 제어하여, 안테나의 기계적인 회전 없이 빔의 신속한 지향이 가능하다는 장점이 있다. 평면 배열 안테나는 주로 격자형 배열과 원형 배열을 사용하는데, 원형 배열이 구조적 특성상 격자형에 비해 높은 분해능을 가진다. 그러나 많은 요소를 사용하는 원형 배열의 경우 전체 배열의 반지름이 증가되어, 제한된 면적에서는 반지름이 각기 다른 다수개의 원형 배열을 가지는 동심원 배열(CCA : Concentric Circular Array or CRA : Concentirc Ring Array)을 사용하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 동심원 배열 안테나를 적용한 적응 빔형성 위성 시스템에서의 도래각 추정기를 소개하고 성능분석 결과를 제시한다. 또한, 원형 배열 안테나를 적용한 경우와의 성능을 비교/분석한다.

The phased array antenna has an advantage enabling rapid beam aim without the mechanical rotation of the antenna, because it arranges multiple elements in a linear or planer (grid or circular) and electronically controls the phase for each element. The planar array antenna is generally used a grid array and a circular array, and the circular form has the higher resolution comparing to the grid form due to the its structural characteristics. However, a concentric circular array (CCA) or a concentric ring array (CRA) with multiple circular arrays which each has different radius is used in the limited area, because the entire radius should be increased for the circular array with a number of elements. In this paper, we introduce the angle-of-arrival (AOA) estimator for an adaptive beamforming satellite system based on CRA and provide the simulation results for performance evaluation. In addition, simulation results are compared and analyzed to the case for the circular array antenna.
