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.

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.

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.

이최근, 3GPP (3rd Generation Partnership Project) 에서는 폭발적으로 증가하고 있는 모바일 데이터 트래픽을 수용하기 위하여 사이드홀 (Sidehaul) 시스템을 개발하고 이에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 사이드홀 시스템은 낮은 PAPR (Peak to Average Power Ratio)을 위해 SC-FDMA (Single Carrier-Frequency Division Multiple Access)를 기반으로 한다. 또한 제한된 공간에서 안테나 배열을 사용함으로써 MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) 전송이 가능하게 한다. 본 논문에서는 사이드홀 시스템에서 ULA (Uniform Linear Array), UCA (Uniform Circular Array) 및 UPA (Uniform Planar Array)에 대한 안테나 배열을 설계하고 성능을 분석한다. 또한, 이웃셀로 부터 간섭의 영향을 줄이기 위하여 새로운 하이브리드 수신기 FSC(Full Suppression Cancellation)를 제안한다. 제안한 수신기는 IRC (Interference Rejection Combining)와 SIC (Successive Interference Cancellation)를 결합하여 간섭을 억제 및 제거 할 수 있다.

This research introduces three new fractal array configurations that have superior performance over the well-known Sierpinski fractal array. These arrays are based on the fractal shapes Dragon, Twig, and a new shape which will be called Flap fractal. Their superiority comes from the low side lobe level and/or the wide angle between the main lobe and the side lobes, which improves the signal-to-intersymbol interference and signal-to-noise ratio. Their performance is compared to the known array configurations: uniform, random, and Sierpinski fractal arrays.

By defining a uniform reference point array corresponding to the 3D voxel array and abandoning voxels whose deviations from their respective reference points exceed a given tolerance, the distribution of voxels within the volumetric 3D image space gets uniform, effects of non-uniform distribution upon the image reconstructing are eased.

우리는 서로소 배열 안테나에 기존의 프로퍼게이터 방법을 기반으로 하는 도래각 (DoA; direction of arrival) 추정 알고리즘을 제안한다. 서로소 배열 기법은 도래각 추정 해상도를 증가시키나 복잡도를 상호배열의 크기만큼 증가시킨다. 이러한 복잡도를 감소시키기 위하여 우리는 특이값 분해없이 도래각을 추정하는 프로퍼게이터 방법을 이용하는 방법을 제안한다. 우리는 시뮬레이션을 통해 선형 균일 배열 MUSIC, 선형 균일 배열 프로퍼게이터 방법, 서로소 배열을 이용한 MUSIC과 제안한 방법을 비교 및 분석하여, 우리가 제안한 방법이 복잡도가 훨씬 높은 서로소 배열을 이용한 MUSIC 보다는 약간 낮은 성능을 보이지만 나머지 기법들 보다는 훨씬 우수한 성능을 보임을 관찰한다.

In modern wireless communication systems including beamformers or location-based services (LBS), which employ multiple antenna elements, estimating the number of signals is essential for accurately determining the quality of the communication service. Representative signal number estimation algorithms including the Akaike information criterion (AIC) and minimum description length (MDL) algorithms, which are information theoretical criterion models, determine the number of signals based on a reference value that minimizes each criterion. In general, increasing the number of elements mounted onto the array antenna enhances the performance of estimating the number of signals; however, it increases the computational complexity of the estimation algorithm. In addition, various configurations of array antennas for the increased number of antenna elements should be considered to efficiently utilize them in a limited location. In this paper, we introduce an efficient signal number estimation algorithm based on the beamspace based AIC and MDL techniques that reduce the computational complexity by reducing the dimension of a uniform circular array antenna. Since this algorithm is based on a uniform circular array antenna, it presents the advantages of a circular array antenna. The performance of the proposed signal number estimation algorithm is evaluated through computer simulation examples.

In this study, a compact series-fed center-fed open-stub (SFCFOS) linear array antenna for K-band applications is presented. The antenna is composed of a single-line 10-element linear array. A symmetrical Chebyshev amplitude distribution (CAD) is used to obtain a low sidelobe characteristic against a uniform amplitude distribution (UAD). The amplitude is controlled by varying the width of the microstrip patch elements, and open-ended stubs are arranged next to the last antenna element to use the energy of the radiating signal more effectively. We insert a series-fed stub between two patches and obtain a low mutual coupling for a 4.28-mm center-to-center spacing ($0.7{\lambda}$ at 21 GHz). A prototype of the antenna is fabricated and tested. The overall size of the uniform linear array is $7.04{\times}1.05{\times}0.0563{\lambda}_g^3$ and that of the Chebyshev linear array is $9.92{\times}1.48{\times}0.0793{\lambda}_g^3$. The UAD array yields a ${\mid}S_{11}{\mid}$ < -10 dB bandwidth of 1.33% (20.912-21.192 GHz) and 1.45% (20.89-21.196 GHz) for the CAD. The uniform array design gives a -23 dB return loss, and the Chebyshev array achieves a -30.68 dB return loss at the center frequency with gains of 15.3 dBi and 17 dBi, respectively. The simulated and measured results are in good agreement.
