This paper analyzes the design factors for GNSS anti-jamming receiver system in which the adaptive beamforming algorithm is applied in GNSS receiver system. The design analysis factors used in this paper are divided into three: antenna, beamforming algorithm, and operation environment. This paper analyzes the above three factors and presents numerical simulation results on antenna and beamforming algorithm.

In this paper, to reduce uplink feedback information for the beam weight and simultaneously maintaining the performance, we propose a MIMO-OFDM (Multi Input Multi Output-Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) system based on beamforming with antenna selection. In the proposed system, to perform the beamforming with more useful transmit antennas, the optimal combination of transmit antennas with maximum MRT (Maximum Ratio Transmission) beamforming gain is selected. Simulation results reveal that the proposed MIMO-OFDM system adopting the beamforming with antenna selection can reduce the feedback information for the beam weights as compared to the system using all the transmit antennas without serious degradation of system performance.

In this paper, the sensitivity of massive antenna arrays and digital beamforming to radio frequency (RF) chain in-phase quadrature-phase (I/Q) imbalance is studied and analyzed. The analysis shows that massive antenna arrays are increasingly sensitive to such RF chain imperfections, corrupting heavily the radiation pattern and beamforming capabilities. Motivated by this, novel RF-aware digital beamforming methods are then developed for automatically suppressing the unwanted effects of the RF I/Q imbalance without separate calibration loops in all individual receiver branches. More specifically, the paper covers closed-form analysis for signal processing properties as well as the associated radiation and beamforming properties of massive antenna arrays under both systematic and random RF I/Q imbalances. All analysis and derivations in this paper assume ideal signals to be circular. The well-known minimum variance distortionless response (MVDR) beamformer and a widely-linear (WL) extension of it, called WL-MVDR, are analyzed in detail from the RF imperfection perspective, in terms of interference attenuation and beamsteering. The optimum RF-aware WL-MVDR beamforming solution is formulated and shown to efficiently suppress the RF imperfections. Based on the obtained results, the developed solutions and in particular the RF-aware WL-MVDR method can provide efficient beamsteering and interference suppressing characteristics, despite of the imperfections in the RF circuits. This is seen critical especially in the massive antenna array context where the cost-efficiency of individual RF chains is emphasized.

본 논문에서는 배열안테나의 패턴을 측정하기 위한 배열안테나와 기준 신호원 사이의 거리에 따른 방향탐지, 간섭제거, 빔형성 성능을 분석한다. 배열안테나는 무선통신, 레이더, 소나 등 다양한 분야에서 사용되고 있다. 이러한 배열안테나를 사용하기 위해서는 배열안테나의 패턴을 알고 있어야 하며, 배열안테나의 패턴은 무반향 챔버에서 측정을 통해 얻을 수 있다. 하지만 무반향 챔버의 크기는 제한적이기 때문에 거리에 따른 측정 오차가 발생하게 된다. 이는 배열안테나를 사용하는 방향탐지, 간섭제거, 빔형성의 성능 저하를 유발시킨다. 본 논문에서는 컴퓨터 모의실험을 통해서 배열안테나 패턴 측정 거리에 따른 방향탐지, 간섭제거, 빔형성 성능을 분석하여 결과를 제시한다.

In this paper, we propose an adaptive beamforming algorithm for array antenna. The proposed beamforming algorithm, based on Block LMS (Block - Least Mean Squares) algorithm, has a variable step size from coefficient update. This method shows some advantages that the convergence speed is fast and the calculation time can reduced using a block LMS algorithm from frequency domain. As the adaptive parameter approaches a stationary state, it could reduce the number of filter coefficient update with the help of various step size. In this paper we compared the efficiency of the proposed algorithm with a standard LMS algorithm which is a representative method of adaptive beamforming.

In this paper, we propose an adaptive beamforming algorithm for array antenna. The proposed beamforming algorithm is based on EDS (Euclidean Direction Search) algorithm. Generally LMS algorithm has a much slower rate of convergence, but its low computational complexity and robustness make it a representative method of adaptive beamforming. Although the RLS algorithm is known for its fast convergence to the optimal Wiener solution, it still suffers from high computational complexity and poor performance. The proposed EDS algorithm has a rapid convergence better than LMS algorithm, and has a computational more simple complexity than RLS algorithm. In this paper we compared the efficiency of the EDS algorithm with a standard LMS algorithm.

This paper presents a beamforming algorithm for the uplink application of a linear array antenna for WCDMA system. A steering beamforming algorithm is designed using a block DFT algorithm and its performance is analyzed and verified using computer simulations. Various environmental parameters such as the number of antenna elements, the number of users, the mobility of the target user, and the status of fast power control are reflected in the simulation study providing themselves as useful design and implementation guides for the reverse link beamforming of WCDMA system.

배열 안테나는 많은 오차 요인을 포함하고 있는데 그로 인하여 빔 패턴의 부엽 레벨이 증가하고 안테나 이득이 감소하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 배열 안테나 오차 중 소자간 상호 커플링과 급전부의 불균일한 전달 함수 오차를 제거하는 알고리즘을 제시하였다. 이러한 오차들은 방사 소자간 상호 연동을 나타내는 행렬로 모델링하였고 이 행렬은 특정 각도들에서 측정한 배열 응답 벡터로부터 추정하였다. 배열 안테나 오차는 추정된 오차 보정 행렬을 이용하여 빔 가중치를 미리 왜곡함으로써 보정하였다. 전파 시뮬레이션과 실험을 통하여 제시된 보정 알고리즘이 부엽 레벨을 감소시키고 안테나 이득을 증가하는 것을 확인하였다.

This paper presents a new reflectarray antenna capable with 1-bit switchable capability for W-band beamforming network. The proposed antenna has been optimized using two unit-cells with sizes of 1.0 mm and 1.3 mm to form a total number of 193 radiating elements on a square aperture surface of length 30 mm. These radiating elements are spaced 0.5 wavelengths apart and fed by a 15 dBi pyramidal horn antenna as the feed antenna placed 53 mm away from the aperture center. The proposed reflectarray achieves a realized peak gain of 22.52 dBi, a half-power beamwidth of 5.1° in both E- and H-planes at the test frequency of 80 GHz and operates over a wide bandwidth from 74 GHz to 90 GHz.
