가입자의 수가 놀라운 비율로 증가하고 고품질. 광대역 데이터 통신에 대한 요구가 증가하면서 이동 통신에 사용되는 주파수원이 부족하게 될 것으로 예상된다. 주파수의 재사용률을 향상시키기 위하여 공간적인 방향성을 가지는 안테나를 이용하는 것과 송신하는 전력을 줄이는 것은 주파수원의 효율적인 사용을 할 수 있게 할 것이다. 가까운 미래에는 도달하는 신호를 빨리 추적하는 높은 이득을 가지는 안테나가 많이 요구될것이고 빠르게 성장할 것으로 기대된다. 그런 다양한 기능을 가지는 안테나를 실현하기 위하여 디지털 빔 형성 안테나가 미래의 지능 안테나로 제안되었다[1], [2]. 따라서 본 논문에서는 디지털 빔 형성(digital beam forming, 이하 DBF라 한다.) 안테나의 빔형성 방법, 원리, 특징에 대하여 살펴볼 것이다.

This paper proposes a technique of sound beamforming that can generate high-directive sound beams, and this paper also presents applications of the proposed algorithm to multi-channel 3D sound systems. The proposed algorithm consists of two phases: first, optimum weights maximizing a sound pressure level ratio between the target and control acoustic regions are designed, and later, the directivity of the pre-designed sound beam is iteratively enhanced by modifying the covariance matrix. The proposed method was evaluated under various situations, and the results showed that it could provide more focused sound beams than the conventional methods.

In this paper, a digital active phased array antenna is briefly introduced and beam forming method for a dual-channel side-lobe blanking applied to blank the side-lobe of the main beam is described. Next, the antenna performance was verified from results of design and antenna near-field measurement for the antenna main beam and side-lobe blanking beam. Then, a single-channel side-lobe blanking beam forming method was proposed to reduce the number of channels than the existing system operating dual-channel side-lobe blanking beam and weight distribution for each element of the side-lobe blanking antenna was designed with the proposed method. Finally, the designed single-channel side-lobe blanking beam pattern and blanking ability were verified and compared with the dual-channel side-lobe blanking beam. In addition, by comparing/verifying the conventional dual-channel and the proposed single-channel side-lobe blanking beam patterns measured through the receiving near-field test of the digital active phased array antenna and their ability to blank side-lobe of the main beam, validity of the proposed method for forming single-channel side-lobe blanking beam was confirmed.

Modern Radars are evolving into MFRs which can search multiple targets simultaneously and then track them. Additionally they should be able to avoid some external jamming signals. Applying to these MFRs, Antennas should be able to perform DBF including to not only real-time beam steering but also multi-beam forming simultaneously. And they can cancel the beam at the specific direction. In this paper, we describe the implementation of sub-array type antenna hardware which can be applying DBF. Also we propose the modified amplitude aperture distribution for suppressing the side lobe level and explain the sub-array receiver design with amplitude tapering. It consists in making the amplitude weighting in 2 steps. In order to compare two weighting cases, we investigate the G/T performance for the array antenna. At the conclusion, we make a comparative study for the dynamic range of every sub-array receiver and present the hardware implementation that is more advantageous for sub-array alignment and calibration in DBF.

This paper presents an efficient receive beam structure able to search and track the simultaneous bundle targets with the active electrically scanned array radar. One of the characteristic with the active phased array radar is to point toward wanted direction and to forming simultaneously the digital multi-beam. This paper proposes method to detect and track rapidly bundle targets coming to radar using the digital beam forming. The proposed the beam forming method in the paper is evaluated about the angle accuracy of targets via a computer simulation.

In this paper, we propose a multi target's elevation angle estimation method using multi beam forming technique. This method make a stacked beam to digital processing a received signal in array element. There can be desired receiving beam to application weight value at antenna element in beam forming. Currently, we are to make multi stacked beam using fast fourier transform in stead of phase shifter to be a computer performance much improvement. Also, we improve multi beam directivity using beam steering error correction technique in order to beam steering to desired direction in receiver. Through simulation, we show that the proposed elevation estimation method based on fast fourier transform and beam steering error correction technique, improves th performance of target estimation compared to previous method.

Radar system must estimate exactly quickness and target in interference channel. Because interference of radio channel is multipath channel by artificial structure and nature structure. signal estimation is difficult. As long as, get rid of interference signal have been study digital beamforming, adaptive array antenna and so on. In this paper, proposed SPT-SALCMV beamforming algorithm get rid of coherent interference algorithm and adaptive array antenna. Adaptive array forms null pattern and reduces gains for direction of interference signal. And estimate signal that want by keeping gains of beam pattern changelessly to target signal direction. In this paper, proposed SPT-SALCMV algorithm was exactly received position of target. But general SPT-LCMV algorithm resulted beam error about 30degrees. Therefore, proved that SPT-SALCMV algerian that propose in this paper is more excellent than genaral SPT-LCMV algorithm.
