In the present study, the wave excitation forces acting on an array of porous circular cylinders are examined based on diffraction problems. To calculate the wave forces, the fluid domain is divided into three regions i.e. a single exterior region, N interior regions and N beneath regions, and the diffraction in each fluid region is expressed by an eigenfunction expansion method with using 3-dimension liner potential theory (Williams and Li, 2000). Especially, the present method is extended to the case of an array of truncated porous circular cylinders to calculate the heave forces as well as surge and sway forces. To verify this method, the numerical results obtained by eigenfunction are compared with these results obtained by higher order boundary element method (Choi et al., 2000). The numerical results obtained by this study are in good agreement with those results. By changing the numbers of porous circular cylinders, the angle of incident wave and the porosity rate of circular cylinders, the wave excitation forces such as surge, sway and heave on an array of truncated porous circular cylinders are investigated.

In this letter, the null steering of a circular array is presented using a modified array factor (AF) for a global positioning system (GPS) anti-jam. The seven radiating elements were designed using a mu-zero resonance (MZR) circularly polarized (CP) antenna arranged toward the center. Since the radiating elements, which are arranged toward the center, have a CP characteristic, the AF of the seven radiating elements has to be modified considering the rotation angle of the nth radiating element. The phases of input ports can be calculated to implement a nulling of radiation patterns where the modified AF is zero. To verify the modified AF for null steering in the desired direction, two cases of power dividers operating in $L_2$ band (1.2276 GHz) were fabricated to achieve pattern nulling at a certain angle. The modified AF can be confirmed by a comparing the simulated and measured radiation patterns.

For a wireless communication system, the angle-of-arrival (AOA) of the signal has a variety of applications. The signal AOA is estimated utilizing various antenna array structure such as Uniform Linear Array (ULA), Uniform Rectangular Array (URA), and Uniform Circular Array (UCA). In this paper, we introduce a cascade AOA estimation algorithm based on the UCA, which is consisted of CAPON and Beamspace MUSIC. CAPON is employed to estimate approximate AOA groups including multiple AOA signals and Beamspace MUSIC is employed to estimate detailed signal AOAs in the estimated AOA groups. In addition, we provide the computer simulation results for verifying and analyzing the performance of the cascade AOA estimator based on UCA.

This paper describes a design for microstrip EMC cross dipole array antenna with circular polarization. To realize the wide bandwidth and circular polarization, the electromagnetic-coupled cross dipole is used. To obtain the uniform aperture illumination, offset technique for array is adopted. In 20-element array design, the calculated axial ratio and gain are about 0.1 dB and 9.9 dBi at 12GHz, respectively. The frequency characteristics of a fabricated 20-element array antenna are measured. The calculated results agree well with the measured ones.

The goal of this paper is to analyze, through simulations and experiments, GNSS interference mitigation performance under various types of antenna structures against wideband and narrowband interferences using spatial-temporal adaptive signal processing (STAP) techniques. The STAP approach, which combines spatial and temporal processing, is a viable means of GNSS array signal processing that enhancing the desired signal quality and providing protection against interference. In this paper, we consider four types of 3D antenna array structure - Uniform Linear Array (ULA), Uniform Rectangular Array (URA), Uniform Circular Array (UCA), and the Single-Ring Cylindrical Array (SRCA) under an interference environment. Analytical evaluation and simulations are performed to investigate the system performance. This is followed by simulation GPS orbits in interfered environment are used to evaluate the STAP performance. Furthermore, experiments using a 2x2 URA hardware simulator data show that with the removal of wideband and narrowband interference through the STAP techniques, the signal tracking performance can be enhanced.

크기가 작은 다수의 부이들이 원형으로 배열되어 있을 때 부이를 통한 추출 파워를 포텐셜이론 통하여 살펴보았다. 부이의 크기와 배열 간격이 수심과 파장 그리고 설치면적의 반경에 비하여 작다는 가정 아래에서 다수부이로 채워진 수면에서의 경계조건식을 유도하고 이를 포함한 경계치문제를 고유함수전개법을 이용하여 해석하였다. 추출 파워와 입사파 에너지의 비인 취득 폭을 packing ratio, 배열 반경, 그리고 PTO 감쇠계수를 바꿔가면서 살펴보았다. 또한 다수의 소형 부이를 원형 배열하였을 때 추출된 파력이 같은 잠긴 체적을 갖는 대형 단일 부이보다 효율적임을 계산을 통하여 밝혔다.

이 논문에서 우리는 송신기와 수신기에 각각 등간격 선형 어레이 (ULA : Uniform Linear Array)와 등간격 원형 어레이(UCA : Uniform Circular Array)를 사용하는 MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) 레이더 시스템을 위한 ESPRIT (Estimation of Signal Parameter via Rotational Invariance Technique) 알고리듬 기반 표적 위치 추정 기법을 제안한다. 수신 안테나가 등간격 선형 어레이인 경우의 ESPRIT과 달리 등간격 원형 어레이인 경우 부어레이의 수신 신호 벡터 간 순환 불변성 (Rotational Invariance)이 만족하지 않는다. 이를 해결하기 위한 연구가 진행되었으나 송신각 추정 문제는 고려되지 않았다. 이 논문에서는 송신 안테나와 수신 안테나를 모두 고려한 ESPRIT 알고리듬을 제안하여 송신 고도각, 수신 고도각, 그리고 수신 방위각을 동시에 추정하는 방법을 소개하고자 한다.

This paper describes the characteristics of a one dimensional narrow-wall slotted waveguide array with a single-layer linear-to-circular polarization converter consisting of a dipole array. An external boundary value Problem of one slot and three dipoles, which approximates the mutual coupling between the dipole array and an edge slot extending over three faces of a rectangular waveguide, is formulated and analyzed by the method of moments; design of polarization conversion is conducted for this model as a unit element. If every unit element has perfect circular polarization, grating lobes appear in the array pattern due to the alternating slot angle: these are suppressed in this paper by changing the dipole angle and degrading the axial ratio of the unit element. The validity of the design is confirmed by the measurements. The dipole array has negligible effects upon slot impedance; the polarization conversion for existing narrow-wall slotted arrays is realized by add-on dipole array.

In this paper, we present a simple design method and measurement results for circular loop antenna arrays, which can be used for LS band operation, such as access point antennas in the wireless LAN system. It has been shown that the input impedance of a circular loop can be adjusted near 100 $\Omega$ using a short stub. The length of the stub can be immediately determined in the work place through the measurement of S11 with a network analyzer. Fabricated arrays show high antenna gains as much as 12.4㏈i and 15.1 ㏈i at the center frequency of 2.45 ㎓ for 4${\times}$l and 4${\times}$2 array, respectively. These types of loop arrays can be fabricated at a low cost.
