Scan Element Pattern(SEP) and Scan Impedance(SI) concepts are used to analyze the characteristics of open-ended waveguide array, which is the representative phased array antenna element in C-band and X-band. Transmit SEP's are calculated for 15$\sim$15 subarray and SI's are obtained by applying periodic boundary conditions for a unit cell of the given array condition. CST's MWS and Ansoft's HFSS are utilized for each analysis. Some relations are reviewed between the two results, which are based on mutual coupling effects. For validation purpose, an 8$\sim$8 subarray is constructed and tested. Transmit SEP measured in MTG's far-field range shows good agreement with the calculated transmit SEP.

In this paper, the RADANT phase scanning scheme and the transmission-type loaded line phase shifter scheme, which are applicable to the phased array systems, are studied. Using these two schemes, a theoretical method to design an electronic beam steering RADANT lens is introduced. The validity of the presented theoretical method is verified through the simplified circuit simulation results.

In this paper, Propose an efficient method that can operate at fixed stations Beam-Steering. Typical Beam-Forming techniques are performed using a delay time between the signal reaching each antenna array. The Beam-Forming method requires a lot of complexity and cost. This paper suggest a Beam-Steering method using a signal-to-noise ratio and a received signal strength. Analyzes the algorithm about proposed method.

A novel hybrid antenna array system for the code division multiple access (CDMA) using the diversity and beamforming technique has been proposed which is called as a dynamic selection method (DSM). Through the derived outage probability analysis, we have shown that the proposed DSM technique can give benefit over the conventional diversity-only or beamforming-only system.

In this paper, the waveguide slot array antenna which is capable of wide beam steering and dual polarization is designed for an X band synthetic aperture radar. In order to improve the restriction of beam steering range and to remove the butterfly lobes, a typical waveguide slot array antenna has been modified. To implement dual polarization, rod excited waveguide slot elements and ridge waveguide slot elements are alternately arranged. Location of slots, inclination of rod and offset distance of slots are determined on using array characteristic and conductance constant with radiating power on slots. The designed antenna is manufactured and measured with Near-filed measurement method.

This paper estimate a desired signal in a correlation wireless communication. The transmitted signal is mixed with the information signal, interference, and noise in wireless channel, and it is incident on the receiver. In this paper, we apply MUSIC algorithm and sub-array method to recover the total rank of the correlation matrix in order to estimation a desired signal among receiving signals. Through simulation, we analyze to compare the proposed method with the classical MUSIC algorithm. As a result of the simulation, the proposed method improved the resolution about 10degrees compared to the conventional MUSIC algorithm. We prove the superiority of the proposed method for the desired signal estimation in correlation channel.

The current on the thin planar structure as an element of the transversely fed electromagnetically coupled(EMC) microstrip dipole array antenna is obtained by using the integral forms of the finite difference time domain(FDTD) method. This method was applied to calculating the optimum current distribution (Doplh-Tchebyscheff distribution) of each dipole element on the feed line as a function of their offset positions for the narrow main beam width and the side beam level below -20 dB. The current on each dipole substitutes for the electric and magnetic current densities on the virtual surface of the FDTD calculation to express the far field intensity, the calculation time and the computer memeory can be reduced to about 80% and 1.3 Mbyte, respectively. The calculated radiation patterns are compared to the measured values and these are in good agreement.

Scalar quantification of the angular prediction error covariance matrix is considered for characterizing tracking performances in phased array radar tracking. Specifically, the maximum eigenvalue and the trace of the covariance matrix are examined in terms of consistency in parameterizing the probability of detection, taking antenna beam-pointing losses into account, and it is shown numerically that the latter is more consistent.

Interference occurs by signals received from directions that were different from the signals of the users in a mobile communication system. Various studies have been undertaken, including diversity, equalizer, etc., in order to reduce interference. In this study, the weighted value of the array antenna was obtained to improve signal-to-noise ratio. The weighted value was obtained as an eigen value and an eigen vector by using the correlation coefficient of the signal. The weighted value obtained was then applied to the CDMA system to increase system performance and capacity. Both QPSK and OQPSK modulation systems were applied to analyze performance.

Recently, optical phased array(OPA) based laser detection and ranging(LADAR) has gained great interest to replace the traditional mechanical light detection and ranging technique(LiDAR). In OPA-based LADAR, it is well known that phases of laser pulses traveling through each of channels should be the same to obtain a narrow free-space single beam without noise-like ripples in the far field. However, it is difficult to provide such ideal condition due to the fabrication errors. To tackle this problem, any algorithms should be necessary to compensate the initial random phases of each channel in OPA antenna. In this paper, we propose a hill-climbing based phase calibration algorithm and evaluate the performance of the proposed algorithm.
