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.

In this paper, we propose a new method that combines antenna array, which employs any beamforming algorithm, and successive interference cancelling multiuser detector which improves the performance of the receiver and analyse its performance. Antenna away receivers can improve the performance by spatially discriminating among the users and reducing the multiple access interference. But the performance of the receivers degrades when the difference of the direction of arrival of the users are too small. Many interference cancelling multiuser detectors have been suggested for DS/CDMA systems which have low complexity for their performance. In this paper, we show how to mitigate such a degradation by combining successive interference cancelling multiuser detector.

Active phased array antenna structure is used for modern multi-function radars. To search targets in high clutter environment, the radar receiver needs high dynamic range performance. Though active phased array antenna structure lead to increase of SNR, the SFDR is not increased. In this paper, high SFDR receiver of X-band active phased array radar was designed and manufactured. One channel digital receiver is connected to 32 T/R modules and one PCB assembly is composed to 2 channel digital receivers with RF part, ADC part, LO distribution part and digital down conversion part. A commercial FIFO board was used for digital receiver measurement about major performance in digital output signal condition. The measured digital receiver gain and SFDR is 33 dB and more than 81 dBc each.

In this paper, we analyze the performance of a DS-CDMA system employing adaptive adaptive array antenna technology at base-station. For the analysis the receiving architecture of a multiple team adaptive base-station array antenna is proposed as a major system omponent, and signal to interference and noise ratio(SINR) on the proposed architecture is developed. We show that the perfomance enhancement of the CDMA system is represented as great reduction of interfreence by employing an array antenna capable of resolving the angular distribution of the mobile users as seen at the ase-station. The energy associated with each mobile or a group of mobiles is thus confined within the addressed volume, greatly reducing the amount of co-channel interference experienced from and by neighboring co-channel cells. In order to ascertain the benefits of such an antenna, a theoretical approach, which eis based on the conventional and proposed antenna systems in a typical mobile radio environment, is adopted. Finally computer simulation results show the insight into how the adaptive array antenna operates when used in conjunction with DS-CDMA and illustrate the potential benefits in the SINR point of view.

In this paper, we propose a suboptimal receiver combining adaptive array antenna and orthogonal decision-feedback detector in DS/CDMA system. Adaptive way antenna can cancel out undesired signal using beamforming scheme. However, if there are interfering signals from undesired users with the same incident angle as that of a desired user, an adaptive array antenna cannot suppress them. The proposed receiver can cancel out remaining interference from users having nearly the same beam pattern. And we employ Orthogonal Decision-Feedback Detector (ODFD) as Multiuser detection. The ODFD performs as good as the decorrelating decision -feedback detector (DDFD) with much less complexity. Simulation results show that the proposed system provides a significantly enhanced performance.

This paper deals with the performance analysis of 3-dimensional array antenna by DOA estimation and beamforming in GPS receiver for performance improvement by interference elimination. The array antenna in GPS receiver can improve the system performance by estimating DOA of arriving signal direction, making the main beam for desired direction and elimate the jammer signal by nulling while keeping the GPS signal direction by spatial filtering. In this paper, we propose five types of 3-dimensional array antenna and analyze the estimation error via MUSIC algorithm which is used for the estimation of DOA of arrived signal and beamforming performance. In analyzing DOA performance, we measure DOA estimation error, while in analyzing beamformig performance, we measure BER. In beamforming performance analyzing, we use various jammer power and the existence of GPS signal and angle spread. By performing through the computer simulation, Curved (B) 7-element antenna in proposed 3-dimensional array antenna exhibits the superior performance in the DOA estimation, estimation error, BER characteristic and angle spread compared to the rest four array antenna types.

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.

We have implemented receiver for a 3 Dimensional Phased-Array Radar detecting the azimuth angle, the altitude, the range of a target on real time. This system consists of high frequency module, which protects receiver and controls sensitivity, intermediate frequency module, monopulse detector, IQ phase detector, AGC controller. A two-channel receiver with same function is implemented for increasing accuracy of target altitude data by amplitude comparison monopulse method. The TSS sensitivity of the receiver is -98dBm. The bandwidth of the receiver is 500 MHz. We can control the system gain manually by 100 dB when be AGC off. The gain and phase unbalance of two channels is 5 dB and 30 degree, respectively. The image rejection rate of the IQ detector is 30 dB. We used duroid substrate and package- type device.

In this paper, 2-D RAKE receiver simulator is made which beamforming technique is applied to in WCI)MA uplink basestation, and the performance is compared with that of 1-D RAKE receiver with varying the number of array elements, RAKE fingers and users. To model angular component of received signal and interfering signals due to multiple access, it is assumed that multiple users are located in the arbitrary direction of the same distance far from the basestation within a sector of the cell, and the channel simulator is made by using Geometry Based Single Bounce Elliptical Model(GBSBEM) suggested by Rappaport. BER performance is compared and analyzed with the various choise of the number of array elements, the number of RAKE fingers, the number of users and Eb/No. These results indicate that increasing the number of array elements eliminates efficiently multiple access interfering signals and improves dramatically BER performance.
