Parameters of a microstrip patch antenna such as the resonant frequency, radiation conductance, and the bandwidth are calculated. The rectangular microstrip patch antenna fed by a microstrip transmission line is fabricated and its resonant frequency, radiation pattern, and input voltage standing wave ratio are measured. The measured resonant frequency for 13.0mm$\times$9.7mm copper clad woven PTFE/glass laminate plate is 9.06Ghz, where the calculative is 9.00Ghz. And the measured vswr shows that the bandwidth of the antenna is 225MHz for vswr less then 2.0 which the calculated quality factor of the patch gives the bandwidth OF 280ghZ. The measured radiation pattern for 5 element as well as 4 element patch array shows less then 4dB deviation in the first side lobes from the designed values for both E and H plane pattern. This diviation is believed to be the power division errors of the power divider.

In this paper, we propose a new array antenna scheme which has an improved side lobe level (SLL) as well as a simplified feeding network and a high gain. The proposed array scheme is based on a non-uniformly excited sub-array. For analysis, we use an array factor of sub-array antenna. In the simulation results, the simulated SLL and gain provide more than 18.43 dB and 26.63 dBi, respectively. For the verification of the proposed design scheme, the prototype antenna with $16{\times}8$ radiating elements was designed by the proposed array scheme. The measured SLL and gain are more than 19.85 dB and 25.53 dBi, respectively. This measurement result indicates that the proposed array scheme is reasonable.

This paper presents the mathematical derivation of a maximum likelihood(ML)-based monopulse ratio(MR) curve. The derived form is, with the linear array assumed, shown to be the function of the number of array elements and the elements' spacing. Through some simulations, the acquired form is equivalent to the expected MR curve. Furthermore, we show the form, which consists of several terms, can be simplified by one tangent function.

In modern radars, dynamic range requirements far severed due to high CNR(Clutter-to-Noise Ratio) environment operation scenario. ADC spurious signal restricted the required dynamic range. In this paper, receiver gain of active phased array radar dependent on ADC nonlinear characteristic was analyzed. Within limited scope of ADC SFDR which blocks required system dynamic range, ADC dynamic range reaches trade-off with ADC SNR loss. Comparing antenna stage output noise voltage to that of ADC input, receiver gain was mathematically analyzed. Finally the whole contents were explained from the application example.

In this paper, a multi-layered metallic disk array structure(MDAS) excited by cross-dipole elements was proposed for efficiently shaping of flat-topped element patterns(FTEP) with circular polarization. The MDAS excited by cross-dipole elements has advantages to decrease in volume and weight of an overall array antenna and so, it is appropriate for the FTEP applications of a ralativlely low frequency band. In order to verify the effectness of this structure, the MDAS breadboard operated at X-band(7.9 ∼ 8.4 GHz) was fabricated, and its design parameters were experimentally optimized on the basis of the previous design experience. The experimental results were shown that the MDAS could shape good FTEPs of ${\pm}$20$^{\circ}$beam width at least within a 6.1 % frequency band.

In this paper, we study for direction of arrival MUSIC spatial spectrum algorithm in order to desired signal estimation in spatial. Proposal MUSIC spatial spectrum algorithm in paper use model error and Bayesian method to estimation on correct target position. Receiver array response vector using adaptive array antenna use Bayesian method, and target position estimate to update weight value with model error method. Target's signal estimation of desired direction of arrival in this paper apply weight value of signal covariance matrix for array response vector after removing incident signal interference and noise, respectively. Though simulation, we analyze to compare proposed method with general method.

In this paper, Rectangular microstrip patch array antenna. relative current of which is distributed to 1:2:2:1, is designed and fabricated by using Tschebyscheff's polynominal expression and is verified by theoretical analysis and experiment. Seeking for more accurate resonant frequency, an equivlent network, which is consisted including feed line and power distribution line, is analyzed by using the analysis method of transmission line mode. As a result of their comparison and examination, such as resonant frequency by fringing effects, by return loss, by experiment, it is conformed that errors are not barely and agreed with each other. is also agreed with a measured values.

The mutual coupling of a pair of microstrip patch antennas on a finite grounded dielectric substrate is influenced by the diffracted field of surface waves from the edges of a substrate. The effective dielectric constant of a grounded dielectric substrate determines the distance between the antenna center and the edge of a substrate to obtain the minimum mutual coupling between a pair of microstrip patch antennas. The optimum substrate size with the minimum mutual coupling is easily calculated using the image method. The optimum substrate sizes using the linage method are in good agreement with the results obtained by the full wave simulation.

The analysis of cavity-backed circular microstrip antenna is performed, based on the method of moments, and verified with experimental results. The proposed algorithm was used to analyze the return loss and radiation characteristics of antenna by the variation of each associated parameter. This result was used to provide the optimum design guideline. Finally active reflection coefficient of infinite cavity-backed microstrip away was calculated to show the effect of suppressing surface wave to eliminate scan blindness.

An array often has faulty elements in real operation. The faulty elements, producing no output or highly reduced gain than other normal elements, cause an elevated sidelobe level and fail to reject the interference signals in an adaptive beamformer. In this paper we have presented the beamforming algorithm for arrays with faulty elements. In the ideal case, an autocorrelation matrix computed from array output data is the toeplitz. However, the inverse of the autocorrelation matrix computed from array with faulty elements can not be obtained due to deficient values of matrix. To overcome this problem, an adaptive beamforming algorithm using the average values of the diagonal terms of matrix is proposed. The computer simulations have been performed to study the performance of the presented method. We have been able to solve the degrees-of-freedom problem that is the drawback of the previous subaperture processing technique.
