  • OFDM Wi-Fi AP is susceptible to the co-channel interference. As a countermeasure, the insertion of a smart has been addressed. Despite of the guaranteed efficiency, the complexity of the post-FFT algorithm often keeps itself from being selected as the countermeasure. Instead, simply constructed pre-FFT smart antenna of which the algorithm is based on the received signal covariance matrix is commonly used and the mathematical modeling of it has been deployed. Computer simulations evaluating the improved BER characteristics of the proposed pre-FFT using the covariance matrix of channel estimator output have been carried out. It has been demonstrated that channel matrix output based smart antenna is superior to that using received signal covariance matrix.

  • This paper examines the array antenna theory, basic relations between the array size (aperture) and its beamwidth and resultant patterns. This paper also provides array antenna system design criteria, mainly maximizing the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and its corresponding optimum array structure and weight functions. Explicit new expressions for array performance are also illustrated in terms of the array output SNR. An example is provided for a 37-element planar array to explicitly illustrate the beam-forming and nulling operations of the array. Fundamentals of sidelobe canceller (SLC) systems have been discussed along with a derivation of new SLC equations for optimum weights.

  • The naval vessel must moves rolling, pitching, yawing by wave when it runs in ocean. Some narrow beam antenna needed position compensation by stabilizer or gimbal for best performance. This paper presents the precision position control for heavy weight(130kg) in roll and pitch direction. Generally it's called for gimbal. This gimbal uses P-I controller, and it's driven by linear actuator and servo motor. This gimbal gets ship's gyro signal and synchro, which have the absolute angle value. Some other similar equipments are driven by huge hydraulic power, but this gimbal is driven by small servo motor. This control loop gets the following procedure repeatedly; reading ship gyro and gimbal synchro, calculating compensated error and control output, driving motor and actuator The performance of gimbal system was satisfied.

  • 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.

  • In this paper, a channel-adaptive beamforming method is proposed for OFDMA (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multilexing Access) systems with smart antenna, in which the size of a cluster is determined adaptively depending on the frequency selectivity of the channel. The proposed method consists of 4 steps: initial channel estimation, refinement of channel estimates, region-splitting, and computation of weight vector for each region. In the proposed method, the size of a cluster for resource unit is determined adaptively according to a region-splitting criterion. It is shown by simulation that the proposed method shows good performances in both frequency-flat and frequency-selective channels.

  • A new simple spatial scheme for base station with adaptive antenna in Code Division Multiplexing Access (CDMA) systems is presented. In the proposed scheme, by applying the new spatial structure lot the receiver, the system can debate the problem of which the number of users exceeds the number of adaptive antenna elements existing in the conventional spatial scheme. An adaptive algorithm based on the Mean Square Error (MSE) criterion is also derived to update the weight matrix of the proposed scheme. The results of the system capacity enhancement can be achieved by using the proposed approach. Numerical simulations are included fer illustration and verification.

  • Recently, Direction Finding(DF) System is using switching DF algorithm to reduce system-weight by eliminating RF cable as much as possible. Also, Correlation Vector Direction Finding(CVDF) algorithms is being used for Fast Direction finding in tactical environment. In this paper, I will give you burst error elimination algorithms and compare the performance in case we use switching CVDF algorithm. Although antenna array is not working, we will successfully perform direction finding when we use this burst error elimination algorithms. Also, we will be completely capable of DF mission despite of meeting the unwanted situation that the monitoring signal disappear in case we use Switching Direction Finding algorithms. That situation frequently occurs under the Frequency Hopping signal circumstances.

  • In cognitive radio networks where unlicensed secondary users opportunistically access to licensed spectrum unused by licensed primary users, spectrum sensing is one of the key issues in order to effectively use the frequency resource. For enhancing the sensing performance in energy detection-based spectrum sensing, spatial diversity based on multiple antennas is utilized. However, the sensing performance can be degraded when antennas are spatially correlated, resulting in inducing the harmful interference to primary users. To overcome this problem, in this paper, an advanced energy detector is proposed. In the proposed sensing method, a weight matrix based on the eigenvalues of the spatial channels without any prior information on the primary signals is defined and utilized. In numerical simulations, it is shown that the proposed detector outperforms the conventional detector with regard to false-alarm and detection probabilities when antenna are spatially correlated.

  • In this paper, a microstrip linear tapered slot antenna is designed. A tapered slot antenna(TSA) has many advantages such as low profile, low weight, easy fabrication, and compatibility with monolithic microwave integrated circuits(MMIC). In addition, it has demonstrated multi octave bandwidth, moderately high gain, and symmetrical E- and H-plane beam patterns. A feed network is implemented with transition between a microstrip and a slot line for the microstrip linear tapered slot antenna. The transition is consist of two sides. One side has a microstrip line, the other side has a slot line. The dimensions of the microstrip and slot line are ${\lambda}_m/4$ and ${\lambda}_s/4$ at the center of the cross section of the microstrip and slot line. In order to get broad bandwidth antenna characteristics, the tapered length is chosen as $4{\lambda}_o$ and termination width is chosen as $1.75{\lambda}_o$. Experimental results show that the microstrip tapered slot antenna has symmetrical E- and H-plane beam patterns with around 5GHz of bandwidth at center frequency of 5.0GHz.

  • In this paper, we studied to direction of arrival (DoA) estimation to use DoA and optimum weight algorithms in coherent interference channels. The DoA algorithm have been considerable attention in signal processing with coherent signals and a limited number of snapshots in a noise and an interference environment. This paper is a proposed method for the desired signal estimation using MUSIC algorithm and adaptive beamforming to compare classical subspace techniques. Also, the proposed method is combined the updated weight value with LCMV beamforming algorithm in adaptive antenna array system for direction of arrival estimation of desired signal. The proposed algorithm can be used with combination to MUSIC algorithm, linearly constrained minimum variance beamforming (LCMV) and the weight value method to accurately desired signal estimation. Through simulation, we compare the proposed method with classical direction of in order to desired signals estimation. We show that the propose method has achieved good resolution performance better that classical direction arrival estimation algorithm. The simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed method.
