It has well known that MUSIC and ESPRIT algorithms estimate angle of arrival(AOA) with high resolution by eigenvalue decomposition of the covariance matrix which were obtained from the array antennas. In the case that 2-D large-sized array antenna is required, however, one of the disadvantages of MUSIC and ESPRIT is that they are computationally ineffective, and then they are difficult to implement in real time. To alleviate the computational complexity, several method using neural model have been study. For multiple signals, those methods require huge training data prior to AOA estimation. This paper proposes the algorithm for AOA estimation by interconnected hopfield neural model. Computer simulations show the validity of the proposed algorithm.

In this paper, a microstrip array antenna utilized a subarray with a waveguide slot feeding is presented. This subarray can reduce the feed loss compared with a full microstrip feed network. The subarray has been designed both for a broad reflection bandwidth and a flat gain bandwidth from 40.5 GHz to 43.5 GHz. The 24${\times}$24 series-fed array antenna has been implemented with the maximum gain of 32.4 dBi.

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.

At the mobile unit for adaptation the propagation environment, it is necessity to adapt very fast the weight coefficient vector of adaptive array antenna In this paper, for the BPSK and BFSK signals with S/I=2, S/N=10 subband adaptive array signal processing method to the linear array antenna using the LMS & the Kalman filter algorithm is proposed. For the 4 elements equidistance linear array antenna systems LMS and Kalman algorithms with subband adaptive instruction principles using the subband signal processing method are adopted and the computer simulation results to the constant amplitude envelope signals such as BPSK or BFSK can be seen that the convergence characteristics of directional patterns and the signal following characteristics are more fast and stable.

In this paper, the relay antenna was designed in consideration of the performance of the 28GHz band 5G mobile communication relay horn antenna, such as radiation pattern and return loss. A horn array for 5G mobile communication repeater was designed by arranging the antenna elements in phase, and the performance was analyzed. Unlike conventional WCDMA (3G) and LTE (4G), in millimeter wave band communication, high path loss occurs between transmission and reception. In the design of a 5G millimeter wave horn antenna, antenna performance such as isolation and gain between antenna elements as well as gain and bandwidth of the antenna must be additionally considered. The antenna gain of the single horn antenna (1×1) and the array horn antenna (2×4) in the 28GHz band is about 10.44d Bi and 19.58dBi, respectively, and the return loss is designed to be less than -18dB. It has proven its validity and has been shown to be suitable for application to 5G mobile communication relay system.

This paper discusses the design and implementation of parabola, lens, and $32{\times}8$ rectangular microstrip patch array antennas at 77GHz for vehicular radar applications. The parabola size was $7{\times}10$ cm and the f/D was 0.263. Open waveguide(WR-12) was utilized as the feed antenna. Two types of lens antennas with f/D=0.5 were investigated ; one was a plano-convex and the other was a double-convex. A patch array antenna was designed using a transmission line model and experimented. Comparing the theoretical values with the measured ones for four antennas, the results were agreed well in 3 dB BW and radiation patterns, while the gain of the patch array antenna was degraded as much as -25 dB due to the feed network and microstrip-to-coax-to-waveguide transition losses.

A new signal model suitable for indoor wireless environments with large angle spread is proposed to improve the performance of indoor wireless communication systems. Antenna array techniques adopted for this model are discussed. It is based on the far-field signal assumption. The optimal beamforming weight vector is obtained by applying the antenna algorithm based on the maximum signal to interference noise ratio criterion to the model. The proposed model is verified using a mathematical analysis and computer simulations.

This paper presents a fast and accurate ranging algorithm for the WiBro system. The proposed algorithm detects a received ranging code and estimates its propagation delay using the correlation characteristics of the PRBS (Pseudo Random Binary Sequence) and the circular shift property of the discrete Fourier transform operator. The proposed ranging algorithm was applied to array antenna systems to show how it could improve the ranging performance of an array antenna system compared to a conventional base station system, which uses only a single antenna.

This paper concerns estimating a desired signal in a multipath environment using linearly constrained array processor with master-slave type array processing and spatial smoothing method in GSM system. In computer simulation, it is shown that the spatial smoothing approach performs better than the master-slave type array processing while both methods perform better than linearly constrained array processing with respect to SINR and BER performances.

In this paper, a conformal type $1{\times}4$ microstrip patch array antenna with tilted antenna beam is presented for UWB sensor applications. Each antenna element comprises E-shaped patch with L-probe feeding to increase the bandwidth. The tilted antenna beam of 20 degree can be achieved with 42 ps microstrip delay lines at the series feeding network with T-junctions. The measured reflection coefficient is >9 dB at 3.5~4.5 GHz. The measured antenna gain and HPBW are >10 dBi and <30 degree at 3.75~4.25 GHz.
