최근 기계적으로 빔을 움직일 수 있는 마이크로 스트립 패치 배열 안테나가 MEMS 기술을 이용해서 제작되고 시험되었다. 본 논문에서는, 제작된 안테나의 적용 예로써 위상변위기를 사용하지 않는 새로운 어레이 안테나의 방사패턴 합성방법을 제안하고, 제안된 방법을 원하는 빔 형상합성에 적용하였다. 방사패턴 형상의 최적화에는 Restricted Competition Selection(RCS)를 이용한 유전 알고리즘을 이용하였다. 또한 이러한 방식의 접근은 EMC 표준에 대처하기 위한 배열 안테나의 설계 시에도 적용이 가능하며, 제안된 방법을 이용하여 특정한 빔 형상들에 대한 합성이 가능하다.

In order to use the Massive MIMO (Multi Input Multi Output) technology using the massive array antenna, it is essential to know the angle of arrival (AOA) of the signal. When using a massive array antenna, the existing AOA estimation algorithm has excellent estimation performance, but also has a disadvantage in that computational complexity increases in proportion to the number of antenna elements. To solve this problem, a cascade AOA estimation algorithm has been proposed and the performance of a single-shaped (non)massive array antenna has been proven through a number of papers. However, the computational complexity of the cascade AOA estimation algorithm to which single and double rim array antennas are applied has not been compared. In this paper, we compare and analyze the computational complexity for AOA estimation when single and double rim array antennas are applied to the cascade AOA estimation algorithm.

In this paper, we propose an ESPRIT based algorithm for target position estimation with uniform linear array (ULA) and uniform circular array (UCA) at transmitter and receiver, respectively. When UCA is adopted at the receiver, unlike the case of ULA at the receiver, the rotational invariance of the received signal is satisfied. Although there has been an attempt to resolve this issue, the problem of direction of departure estimation has not been considered. In this paper, we provide an ESPRIT based algorithm to simultaneously estimate transmitter elevation angle, receiver elevation angle, and receiver azimuth angle, taking into account the transmitter antennas as well as the receiver antennas.

It has been known that the DCMP(Directionally Constrained Minimization of Power) and the ZF(Zero Forcing) can improve the SINR performance of an array antenna system by using spatial signature of wireless channel. This paper analyzes the performance of DCMP and ZF in multiple scattering environments. To obtain the spatial signature of wireless channel. both DOA(Directional of Arrival) and AS(Angular spread) of the received signals were estimated by using ESPRIT. The performance of the DCMP and the ZF was analyzed theoretically. By computer simulation of SINR performance was evaluated.

디지털 이동통신 시스템의 성능은 신호의 fading과 다른 사용자에 의한 간섭에 영향을 받는다. 이런 효과들을 줄여주기 위해서 기지국에서 어레이 안테나를 사용하려는 연구가 이루어지고 있다. A 어레이 안테나를 이용한 통신은 지금까지 uplink 방향에 대한 연구가 주를 이루었으나, 최근에는 downlink 에 대한 연구가 많이 이루어지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 FDD 방식을 기초로 한 이동통신 시스템에서 donwlink beamforming 기법을 제안 한다. 기존의 방식들과 제안된 기법 사이의 성능을 시뮬레이션을 통해 비교하였다.

In this paper, the reverse link performance of a imperfect power controlled DS/CDMA cellular system that uses a base station array antenna which can effectively remove the multiple access interference is analyzed considering both beam forming algorithm and power control error in shadowing. The blocking probability of the DS/CDMA cellular system based on array parameters, $E_b/N_o$ and statistics of interference is derived, and then the system capacity corresponding to a certain blocking probability is calculated. On the assumption that the blocking probability is set 1%, the system capacity using MCGM algorithm with 12 antenna arrays is more increased maximum 32 times than that using a omni-directional antenna and about 2 times than that using MMSE algorithm, respectively.

The techniques of estimating angle of arrival(AOA) have played a key role for enhancement of wireless communications using array antennas. Among those techniques, the superresolution algorithms, such as MUSIC and ESPRIT, calculate the covariance matrix of the array output vectors which are observed at the array antennas, and then by using eigen-decomposition of the covariance matrix, they estimate AOAs of the received signals with high accuracy. However, superresolution algorithms based eigenvalue decomposition fails to estimate AOAs under multipath environments. Under multipath environments, it is difficult to estimate AOAs of the received signals due to coherency and high-correlation. To resolve coherent signals, the covariance matrix is calculated by using the conventional spatial smoothing technique, and then the techniques based on eigen-descomposition is applied. The result of the conventional spatial smoothing technique, however, is obtained at the cost of losing effective spatial aperture. Moreover, the conventional technique ignores any information in the cross-correlations of the array outputs the subarrays. As the result, the performance for AOA estimation is degraded. In this paper, we propose a new spatial smoothing technique, which consider the cross-correlation for subarrays. By computer simulation, the AOA estimation performance of the proposed method is compared with the conventional method and evaluated.

The potential ability of the Applebaum type adaptive array to suppress the multipath signals is examined. The output Signal-to-Noise Ratio is expressed in terms of (1) the input SNR. (2) relative multipath signal amplitude, and (3) ambient noise when a multipath component is present Computer simulation is done on several performance measures to learn that the performance of the array depends upon the magnitude and the phase of the correlation coefficient. It is also shown that the performance is maximized when the phase of the correlation coefficient is zero degree.
