This paper describes and analyzes a various generation methods of the mutually orthogonal polyphase sequences with low cross-correlation peak sidelobe and low autocorrelation peak sidelobe levels. The mutual orthogonality is the key requirement of multi-static or MIMO(Multi-Input Multi-Output) radar systems which provides the good target detection and tracking performance. The polyphase sequences, which are generated by SA(Simulated Annealing) and GA(Genetic Algorithm), have been analyzed with ACF(Autocorrelation Function) PSL(Peak Sidelobe Level) and CCF(Crosscorrelation Function) level at the matched filter output. Also, the ambiguity function has been introduced and simulated for comparing Doppler properties of each sequence. We have suggested the phase selection rule for applying multi-static or MIMO systems.

Multi-carrier waveforms have several advantages over single-carrier waveforms for radar communication. Employing multi-carrier complementary phase-coded (MCPC) waveforms in radar applications has recently attracted significant attention. MCPC radar signals take advantage of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing properties, and several authors have explored the use of MCPC signals and the difficulties associated with their implementation. The sidelobe level and peak-to-mean-envelope-power ratio (PMEPR) are the key issues that must be addressed to improve the performance of radar signals. We propose a scheme that applies pattern-based scaling and geometric progression methods to enhance sidelobe and PMEPR levels in MCPC radar signals. Numerical results demonstrate the improvement of sidelobe and PMEPR levels in the proposed scheme. Additionally, autocorrelations are obtained and analyzed by applying the proposed scheme in extensive simulation experiments.

In this paper, a new approach to the optimum synthesis of line source difference patterns is proposed for the monopulse tracking way antennas. In the Proposed scheme, which is different from the well-known Bayliss difference pattern synthesis, the difference patterns with the desired individual sidelobe levels are optimally synthesized by appropriately modifying the Taylor line source sum pattern formula. That is, the relationship between the difference pattern and the corresponding source distribution function is analytically established, and then the desired pattern and the distribution are simultaneously extracted by the optimum perturbation of pattern null positions. Furthermore this method provides more rapid sidelobe decay rates than conventional methods. Some numerical results show the validity and usefulness of the proposed procedures.

Theoretical models that can be used to predict the range of main lobe widths and the probability distribution of the peak sidelobe levels of two-dimensionally sparse arrays are presented here. The arrays are considered to comprise microphones that are randomly positioned on a segmented grid of a given size. First, approximate expressions for the expected squared magnitude of the aperture smoothing function and the variance of the squared magnitude of the aperture smoothing function about this mean are formulated for the random arrays considered in the present study. By using the variance function, the mean value and the lower end of the range i.e., the first I percent of the mainlobe distribution can be predicted with reasonable accuracy. To predict the probability distribution of the peak sidelobe levels, distributions of levels are modeled by a Weibull distribution at each peak in the sidelobe region of the expected squared magnitude of the aperture smoothing function. The two parameters of the Weibull distribution are estimated from the means and variances of the levels at the corresponding locations. Next, the probability distribution of the peak sidelobe levels are assumed to be determined by a procedure in which the peak sidelobe level is determined as the maximum among a finite number of independent random sidelobe levels. It is found that the model obtained from the above approach predicts the probability density function of the peak sidelobe level distribution reasonably well for the various combinations of two different numbers of microphones and grid sizes tested in the present study. The application of these models to the design of random, sparse arrays having specified performance levels is also discussed.

Offset parabolic antenna have been widely used for satellite communication system. To locate feedhorn on antenna system, it requires arbitrary structure which forces to fix on system. However, arbitrary scatterer increases sidelobe level of elevation axis. To solve this problem, we need to predict which angle level is increased by arbitrary scatterer simply. Because conventional simulation method takes a long time to simulate parabolic antenna system and needs exclusive software. In this paper we can calculate sidelobe angle simply by using raytracing method, check coincidence between calculated and simulated result and show how arbitrary scatterer affects sidelobe lavel of elevation axis of offset parabolic antenna depending on angle and location of arbitrary structure.

In this paper, we propose a new algorithm for designing the R-G filter that has optimum performance in terms of mean square sidelobe level(MSSL) for the Barker code. The advantage of the conventional R-G filter lies in its simple structure so that it can be easily implemented. However, the conventional R-G filter dose not have optimum performances in terms of peak sidelobe level(PSL), mean sidelobe level(MSL), and MSSL. Recently, a(R-G)LP filter of which filter coefficients are obtained by the linear programming algorithm was proposed and known to have optimum performance in PSL. The proposed (R-G)LS filter keeps the simple structure of the conventional R-G filter and has the filter coefficients that minimizes the sidelobe in the least square sense. The analytic results show that the proposed (R-G)LS filter has better performances than the conventional R-G filter in terms of PSL, MSL, and MSSL. Compared with (R-G)LP filter, the proposed (R-G)LS filter has better performances in terms of MSL and MSSL. The proposed filter design algorithm can be applied to the other binary codes such as truncated pseudonoise(PN) codes and concatenated codes.

A TPMS(Tire Pressure Monitoring System) is a wireless communication system designed to monitor the pressure and temperature of pneumatic tires of a vehicle. In order to provide the aid in protecting a driver, this system reports tire pressure information to the driver of the vehicle. Since the wireless communication technique should be employed to transmit the TPMS data from each tire to signal processing unit in the vehicle, it suffers from interference signals from external electrical or electronics equipments. In this paper, we propose the TPMS interference cancellation technique based on GSC(Generalized Sidelobe Canceler), which does not have only the excellent performance like MVDR(Minimum-Variance-Distortionless-Response) but also has the low computational complexity comparing with MVDR. The performance of interference suppression is conformed by computer simulation examples.

We propose a new technique for sidelobe suppression in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems. Sidelobe suppression is an essential technique to design OFDM based overlay system. The proposed technique is based on the combination of the multiple choice sequence (MCS) with the conventional windowing of OFDM signal in time domain. The MCS is choosing the one sequence which has lowest power in sidelobes from the produced set of sequences. The main advantage of proposed technique is that it fully utilizes the available bandwidth to transmit data. Simulation results show that by combining MCS with conventional windowing technique, the sidelobes in OFDM system can be significantly reduced

We propose a phase optimization technique for sidelobe suppression in OFDM system. The technique is based on idea that phase shift to some of the transmit symbols within the symbol constellation plane can lead to significant sidelobe suppression. The sidelobes are reduced by optimizing using iterative method the phases of some subcarriers on the left and right hand side of the used OFDM spectrum. The proposed technique requires a small amount of side information that needs to be transmitted. Simulation results show that the proposed technique can reduce the sidelobes by significant amount.

In the underwater acoustic systems. we can receive signals and retrieve information about a target by using a beamforming method. The most important thing in the beamforming is finding the way to optimize the mainlobe beamwidth and the sidelobe level to the desired value. One of the prominent results of beamforming method. which has been studied. is Philip's weighting function method(1) . Philip's method adaptively adjusts its weights of array to meet the desired mainlobe beamwidth and sidelobe level. It is very similar to the design method in adaptive filter. However. this method cannot easily bring us to the desired sidelobe level due to complementary relation between mainlobe beamwidth and sidelobe level. In this paper, we propose a new algorithm using partial constrained adaptation. This method makes us circumvent the above problem and meet the specification of design easily. The proposed algorithm presents a Pattern synthesis that designer can easily control the mainlobe beamwidth and the sidelobe level to the desired value while calculation time to converge is decreasing.
