초록

본 논문은 안테나 어레이를 이용한 블라인드 방법을 관간으로 하는 최적의 웨이트 벡터 계산방법을 제시한다. 본 논문에서 사용되는 적응알고리즘은 수신신호의SINR(Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio)을 최대화하는 웨이트 벡터를 구하는 일반화된 온-오프 알고리즘(Generalized On-Off algorithm)이다. 제안된 알고리즘은 선형화된 일차의 계산량, O(6N+8), 으로 작동되어 범용 DSP를 이용하여 웨이트 벡터 계산을 실시간으로 처리 할 수 있음을 확인하였다. 또한 다양한 성능분석을 통해 본 논문에서 제안한 알고리즘은 각분산(angular spread)이 많을 때와 처리이득(processing gain)이 낮은 열악한 신호 환경하에서는 일반화되지 않은 기존의 알고리즘의 경우보다 약 3배까지 용량증대 효과를 제공한다는 것을 확인하였다. 제안 알고리즘을 IS2000 1X 이동통신시스템과 위성추적시스템에 응용한 결과, 통신용량측면과 통신품질측면 모두에서 우수한 성능을 확인하였다.

This paper proposes a novel blind adaptive algorithm for computing the weight vector of an antenna array system. The new technique utilizes a Generalized On-Off algorithm to obtain the weight vector maximizing the SINR(Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio) of the received signal. It is observed that the proposed algorithm generates a suboptimal weight vector with a linear computational load(O(6N+8)). From the various simulations, it is confirmed that, when the signal environment becomes adverse, e.g., low Processing Gain, and/or wide angular spread. the proposed algorithm outperforms the conventional one in terms of the communication capacity by about 3 times. Applying the proposed algorithm to satellite tracking systems as well as IS2000 1X mobile communication system, we have found that both communication capacity and communication quality are significantly improved.
