An adaptive beam forming system using a phased array antenna improves communication quality by beam forming adaptively to a communication environment having an interference signal. For adaptive beam forming, a good combination of the phases of the excited signals to each radiating element of the phased array antenna should be calculated. In this paper, improved particle swarm optimization algorithm that adds a re-spreading procedure according to particle density was proposed to increase the probability of good phase shift combination output.

최근에 cdma2000-lx 시스템의 역방향에 파일럿 채널이 추가되면서 적은 계산량으로 구현이 가능한 LMS 빔 형성 기법이 연구되고 있다. 그러나 기존의 LMS 빔 형성 방식의 경우 무선 페이딩 채널에 적응하기 위하여 고정된 step-sire parameter를 이용하였다. 하지만 이러한 고정된 step-size parameter를 사용할 경우 MSE가 증가하여 좋은 성능을 얻을 수 없다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 LMS 순 방향 빔 형성 기법에서 채널을 추정하여 추정된 채널과 LMS 가중치의 오차에 적응하는 step-size parameter를 결정함으로써 적은 MSE만으로 가중치 값을 추정하는 CA-LMS(Channel Adaptive Least Mean Square) 방식을 이용한 순방향 빔 형성 기법을 제안한다. 제안한 방식에 대하여 cdma2000-lx 환경에서 다양한 페이딩 환경에 적용하여 제안한 방식이 우수함을 확인 할 수 있다.

Single towed line array receiver contains an ambiguity on conjugate bearings because of lacking aperture in transverse direction. To solve the left/right bearing ambiguity of line array receiver this paper proposed using single line array with fixed cardioid beam. Fixed cardioid beam has problem about back beam gain exists for steering beam inherent. Back beam is makes form on direction that is different from actually source so that reduced the performance of left/right bearing discrimination. In this paper, line way with adaptive cardioid beam for resolve problem of back beam gain is proposed. So the proposed method has more improved left/right bearing discrimination than fixed cardioid beam, Simulation results show the performance of the proposed method.

Adaptive beamforming algorithms have been widely used to remove interference and jamming in the phased array radar system. Advances in the field programmable gate array(FPGA) technology now make possible the real time processing of adaptive beamforming (ABF) algorithm. In this paper, the FPGA based real-time implementation method of adaptive beamforming system(beamformer) in the pre-processor module for active electronically scanned array(AESA) radar is proposed. A compact FPGA-based adaptive beamformer is developed using commercial off the shelf(COTS) FPGA board with communication via OpenVPX(Virtual Path Cross-connect) backplane. This beamformer comprises a number of high speed complex processing including QR decomposition & back substitution for matrix inversion and complex vector/matrix calculations. The implemented result shows that the adaptive beamforming patterns through FPGA correspond with results of simulation through Matlab. And also confirms the possibility of application in AESA radar due to the real time processing of ABF algorithm through FPGA.

An improved genetic algorithm was proposed for pattern synthesis of an adaptive beam forming system using phased array antennas. The proposed genetic algorithm is an algorithm that adds acquired characteristics procedure to solve local optimization using the diversity. The performance of the proposed genetic algorithm is verified through the problem of finding a suitable chromosome for a picture composed of binary. And it is confirmed that it is suitable for the adaptive beam forming system based on the performance problem of combining main beam and two pattern nulls.

This paper details the downlink performance analysis of an multiple antennas system that combines adaptive beamforming and spatial multiplexing (SM) Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO). The combination of MIMO signal processing with adaptive beamforming is applied to WiBro, the South Korean Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) system that follows the IEEE 802.16e standard. Performance analysis is based on the results of experiments and simulations obtained from a fixed-point simulation testbed. Simulations demonstrate that the MIMO Beamforming OFDMA system improves the required signal to noise ratio (SNR) over the conventional MIMO OFDMA system by 3 dB (QPSK) / 2.5 dB (16-QAM) for the frame error rate (FER) of 1% in the WiBro signal environments. From the implementation of the fixed-point simulation testbed and its experimental results, we verify the feasibility of the MIMO Beamforming technology for realizing a practical WiBro base station.

In this paper, beamforming algorithm is proposed which can obtain diversity gain in beamforming system that deploy antenna elements with half-wavelength. The proposed algorithm provides beam-pattern using eigen-vectors that span received signal subspace. The criterion to decide optimal rank of eigen-space used for beamforming is also proposed. A beamforming system applied the proposed algorithm shows better performance with diversity gain as getting larger angle spread. This paper provides a description of proposed algorithm with analysis of the performance using various computer simulations.

An active phased array antennas can not only electrically steer the beam by controlling the weighting of the excitation signal, but can also form a pattern null in the direction of the interference source. The weight of the excitation signal to steer the main beam can be easily calculated based on the position of the radiating element. In addition, the weight of the excited signal for pattern null formation can also be calculated by setting the required radiation pattern and using WLSM(Weighted Least Squares Method). However, in a general wireless communication network environment, the location of the interference source is unknown. Therefore, an adaptive pattern null synthesis is needed. In this paper, it was confirmed that pattern null synthesis according to the required radiation characteristic was possible. And based on this, adaptive pattern null synthesis into the direction of an interference source was studied using a binary search algorithm based on observation area. As a result of conducting a simulation based on the presented technique, it was confirmed that adaptive pattern null forming into the direction of an interference is possible in efficient way.

DS/CDMA 이동통신 환경에서 채널의 용량을 제한하는 가장 큰 요인은 다중 사용자 간섭 신호의 영향이다. 본 논문에서는 어레이 안테나와 적응 혼합 다중 사용자 검파기 구조 (MUD: Multi-User Detection)를 이용하여 이러한 문제를 제거한다. 어레이 안테나의 각각의 빔 형성기는 MUD에서 궤환되는 기준 신호를 이용하여 원하는 사용자의 방향으로 빔을 형성하고 간섭 신호 방향으로는 널을 형성하여 제거하게 된다. 수신 신호의 전력이 제어되지 못하여 원근 문제(near-far problem)가 발생할 경우, 제안한 MUD는 적응적으로 지배적인 상관 값에 대해서는 직렬형, 비슷한 크기의 신호들은 병렬형 간섭 제거기를 통하여 제거함으로써 기존의 고정형 간섭 제거기보다 우수한 성능을 나타내었다.
