입사 신호에 대한 배열 안테나의 응답인 array manifold를 측정에 의해 생성하는 방법을 기술하였으며, 기술된 방법에 의해 실측된 등간격 원형 배열 안테나의 array manifold를 MUSIC 알고리즘에 적용하여 배열 안테나로 입사되는 300 MHz tone 신호의 공간 스펙트럼을 추정하였다. 측정 array manifold를 이용한 공간 스펙트럼 추정은 이상적인 배열 안테나를 가정한 계산 array manifold 대비 월등한 성능을 보인다.

Low frequency towed line array with high array gain and beam resolution is a long range surveillance sensor for anti-submarine warfare. The beam characteristics is however deteriorated due to the distorted line array sensor caused by low towing speed, wind, current, and towing ship maneuvering. An adaptive beamforming method is utilized in this paper to enhance the distorted line array beam performance by estimating and compensating the nonlinear array shape. A polynomial curve fitting in the least square sense is used to estimate the array shape iteratively with the distributed heading sensors data along the array. Real time array shape estimation and nonlinear array beam calculation is applied to a very long towed line array sensor system and the beam performance is evaluated and compared to the linear beamformer for the simulation and sea trial data.

In this study, the effect of the steering vector model mismatch due to array uncertainties on the performance of array processing was analyzed through simulation, along with the alleviation of the model mismatch effect depending on array calibration. To increase the reliability of the simulation results, the actual steering vector of the array antenna obtained by electromagnetic simulation was used along with the Jahn's channel model, which is an experimental channel model. Based on the analysis of the power spectrum for each direction, beam pattern, and the signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio of the beamformer output, the performance deterioration of array processing due to array uncertainties was examined, and the performance improvement of array processing through array calibration was also examined.

In this paper, we design an optimal planar array geometry for maximum side-lobe reduction. The concept of thinned array is applied to obtain an optimal two dimensional(2-D) planar array structure. First, a 2-D rectangular array with uniform spacing is used as an initial planar array structure. Next, we modify the initial planar array geometry with the aid of thinned array theory in order to reduce the maximum side-lobe level. This is implemented by a genetic algorithm under some constraint, minimizing the maximum side-lobe level of the 2-D planar array. It is shown that the optimized planar array structure can achieve low side-lobe level without optimizing the excitations of the array antennas.

An adaptive array system can effectively remove all received interferences by using adaptive algorithms even though the received signal condition is not known. The conventional adaptive array systems, however, cannot remove all interferences adaptively and converge very slowly when the eigenvalue spread of the input covariance matrix is large. In the paper, a new adaptive array system called an automatic gain controller (AGC) Applebaum array and its control algorithm are proposed to overcome the performance degradation of conventional Applebaum array in multiple interference conditions. The performance analysis of the proposed AGC Applebaum array is described under the condition of multiple narrowband interferences. Simulation results show the array output signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the AGC Applebaum array increases by 30dB compared to that of the conventional Applebaum array in the simulation condition. The gain of the AGC Applebaum array in the incident direction of a weaker interference is also shown to be lower than that of the conventional Applebaum array.

A 3D ultrasound image is desired in many medical examinations. However, the implementation of a 2D array, which is needed for a 3D image, is challenging with respect to fabrication, interconnection and cabling. A 2D sparse array, which needs fewer elements than a dense array, is a realistic way to achieve 3D images. Because the number of ways the elements can be placed in an array is extremely large, a method for optimizing the array configuration is needed. Previous research placed the target point far from the transducer array, making it impossible to optimize the array in the operating range. In our study, we focused on optimizing a 2D sparse array transducer for 3D imaging by using a simulated annealing method. We compared the far-field optimization method with the near-field optimization method by analyzing a point-spread function (PSF). The resolution of the optimized sparse array is comparable to that of the dense array.

A simplified view of array design and application process was introduced. Array design is critical to achieve a successful phased array measurements. A planar microphone array is designed to produce optimum performance and also to fit economic requirement in integrating data acquisition system. Certain performance characteristics are of primary concern when designing arrays. These characteristics include array resolution, spatial aliasing and array sidelobe suppression. Every array has its directional pattern that shows such characteristics. Assuming that a monopole source is located in center, beam-patterns have been simulated varying measurement conditions such as number of sensors. array aperture size, distance between array and source, frequency of interest and so on. Sensor correction was conducted on very channel using magnitudes and phased of FRF with respect to a reference microphone channel. Then with a spiral type array, measurements have been made with two point sources of same frequency in order to investigate array resolving abilities. It is observed that higher frequency source achieves better resolution than lower one does.

This research introduces three new fractal array configurations that have superior performance over the well-known Sierpinski fractal array. These arrays are based on the fractal shapes Dragon, Twig, and a new shape which will be called Flap fractal. Their superiority comes from the low side lobe level and/or the wide angle between the main lobe and the side lobes, which improves the signal-to-intersymbol interference and signal-to-noise ratio. Their performance is compared to the known array configurations: uniform, random, and Sierpinski fractal arrays.

본 논문은 V-band에서 동작하는 MMIC 결합 발진기 array에 관한 것이다. 제안된 발진기 array의 unit cell들은 한 개의 microstrip patch 안테나와 두개의 발진기가 결합된 push-pull 능동 안테나 구조로 되어 있다. 전체 발진기 array의 주파수 동기화는 각 unit cell의 microstrip patch 안테나 사이의 강한 전자기적 결합을 통해 이루어진다. 이로 인해 전체 array를 하나의 MMIC로 구현할 수 있었다. 제안된 구조로 설계된 2종의 V-band 1$\times$2 결합 발진기 array가 0.15 um pHEMT MMIC 표준 공정을 이용해 제작되었다. 제작된 MMIC 칩은 도파관을 이용한 전력 결합 module로 구현되었다. 모듈 측정 결과, 첫 번째 array는 56.372 GHz에서 0.5 dBm의 출력을 나타내었고 다른 하나는 60.147 GHz에서 5.85 dBm의 출력을 나타내었다.
