The target must be located within the main-lobe of the antenna in order to measure the direction of the target by using sum-delta monopulse technique. The most common way if the target is located within the main-lobe is to compare the amplitude of the sum channel received signal with the delta channel received signal. However, in the case of the single-ring circular array antenna, it is difficult to apply the conventional method due to its structural limitation where antenna elements do not exist in the center of the array. In this paper, we proposed a novel method to identify whether a target is located within the main-lobe by appropriately adjusting the feeding amplitude of each element constituting the single-ring circular array antenna through the particle swarm optimization method. Simulation results showed that the proposed method can determine whether the target is located within the main-lobe of the single-ring circular array antenna.

위상 배열 안테나는 다수개의 안테나 소자를 선형 혹은 평면(격자형 혹은 원형)으로 배열하여 각 소자에 대한 위상을 전자적으로 제어하여, 안테나의 기계적인 회전 없이 빔의 신속한 지향이 가능하다는 장점이 있다. 평면 배열 안테나는 주로 격자형 배열과 원형 배열을 사용하는데, 원형 배열이 구조적 특성상 격자형에 비해 높은 분해능을 가진다. 그러나 많은 요소를 사용하는 원형 배열의 경우 전체 배열의 반지름이 증가되어, 제한된 면적에서는 반지름이 각기 다른 다수개의 원형 배열을 가지는 동심원 배열(CCA : Concentric Circular Array or CRA : Concentirc Ring Array)을 사용하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 동심원 배열 안테나를 적용한 적응 빔형성 위성 시스템에서의 도래각 추정기를 소개하고 성능분석 결과를 제시한다. 또한, 원형 배열 안테나를 적용한 경우와의 성능을 비교/분석한다.

An optical true-time delay beam-forming system using a tunable dispersion compensating module (DCM) for dense-wavelength division modulation (DWDM) and a multiwavelength fiber ring laser for a phased array antenna is proposed. The multiwavelength fiber ring laser has one output that includes four wavelengths; and four outputs that include only single-wavelength. The advantage of such a multiwavelength fiber ring laser is that it minimizes the number of devices in the phased array antenna system. The time delays according to wavelengths, which are assigned for each antenna element, are obtained from the tunable DCM. The tunable DCM based on a temperature adjustable Fabry-Perot etalon is used. As an experimental result, a DCM could be used to obtain the change of the beam angle by adjusting the dispersion value of the DCM at the fixed lasing wavelengths of the fiber ring laser in the proposed optical true-time delay.

배열 안테나 수신기에서 도래각(Angle of Arrival : AOA) 정보는 다양한 상황에서 특정 신호의 위치추정 및 효율적인 신호 획득을 위한 주요한 요소 중 하나이다. 위성망을 통한 도래각 추정은 위성에 탑재된 평면(격자형, 원형) 배열 안테나를 이용하여 빠르게 넓은 지역의 도래각 정보를 획득할 수 있다는 장점을 가진다. 위성 환경에서는 배열 안테나의 크기에 제약이 있어, 다수개의 안테나 요소를 사용하면서 전체 크기가 작은 동심원 배열 (CCA : Concentric Circular Array or CRA : Concentric Ring Array) 안테나 구조가 단일 원형 배열(UCA : Uniform Circular Array) 안테나 구조에 비해 효율적이다. 본 논문은 동심원 배열 안테나를 적용한 CAPON과 Beamspace MUSIC으로 구성된 캐스케이드 도래각 추정 알고리즘을 소개한다. 또한, 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 통해 제시된 알고리즘에 대한 성능평가를 실시하고, 단일 원형 배열 안테나의 경우와 비교/분석한다.

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.

This paper reports the characteristics of a bidirectional antenna by using a planar array of a probe excited circular ring. The element of a bidirectional antenna is first designed to achieve the maximum directivity. The directivity can be further increased by arranging these elements to form the linear array. There are two types of linear array to be investigated i.e., on axis and off axis arrangement. On-axis linear array yields better directivity than off-axis linear array. Therefore, this orientation is further used to form the planar array. The radiation characteristics of this optimum planar array are rigorously reported. The proposed structure is very useful to extend the distance between the base station in PCT system.

The aim of this work is to demonstrate a method for exciting and receiving torsional and longitudinal mode guided waves with an electromagnetic acoustic transducer (EMAT) ring array. First of all, a three-dimensional guided wave simulator is developed in order to numerically analyze the propagation of the guided wave. The finite difference time domain method is used for the simulator. Second, two guided wave testing systems using an EMAT ring array are provided: one is for torsional mode (T-mode) guided wave and the other is for longitudinal mode (L-mode). The EMATs used in the both systems are the same in design. A method to generate and receive the T- and L-mode guided waves with the same EMAT is proposed. Finally, experimental and numerical results are compared and discussed. The results of experiments and simulation agree well, showing the potential of the EMAT ring array as a mode controllable guided wave transmitter and receiver.

In this paper, a method of designing a Vivaldi type phased array antenna (PAA) which operates at S-band (2.8-3.3 GHz) is presented. The presented antenna uses broadside coupled split ring resonators (BC-SRRs) for high isolation, wide field of view, and good active S-parameter characteristics. As an example, we design a $1{\times}8$ array antenna with various BC-SRR structures using theory and EM simulations. The antenna is fabricated and measured to verify the design. With the BC-SRR implemented between the two radiating elements, the isolation is shown to be enhanced by 6 dB, up to 23 dB. The scan angle is shown to be within ${\pm}53^{\circ}$ based on a -10 dB active reflection coefficient. The operation of the scan angle is possible within ${\pm}60^{\circ}$ with a little larger reflection coefficient (-7 dB to -8 dB). The proposed design with BC-SRRs is expected to be useful for PAA applications.

In this letter, a novel antenna with a miniaturized aperture is proposed. The substrate including a split-ring resonator array is inserted into a size-reduced open-ended waveguide. For a low return loss and high radiation efficiency, the ring arrangement is optimized, and a stepped transition using H-plane discontinuity is proposed. The proposed antenna achieves a 70% aperture reduction compared to a conventional standard waveguide antenna of WR-187 (47.6 mm${\times}$22.2 mm). The return loss drops significantly at three frequencies, and a reasonable gain is achieved. The aperture-miniaturized antenna can be used in many antenna applications such as near-field measurement.
