초록

본 논문에서는 orthogonal frequency-division multiple-access 스마트 안테나 시스템을 위한 효율적인 도래각 추정 기반의 적응 빔 형성 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안된 알고리즘은 추정된 도래각 정보를 이용하여 원하는 신호의 방향으로 주 빔 (main beam)을 형성하는 반면, 간섭 신호의 방향에는 null을 형성함으로써 간섭 신호를 효율적으로 제거한다. 또한, 다중 경로 신호에 대한 빔 형성 출력들을 효율적으로 결합함으로써 공간 다이버시티 이득을 얻을 수 있다. 제안된 알고리즘의 효율성을 입증하기 위해 셀룰러 이동통신 환경에서 WiBro 시스템을 목표 시스템 (target system)으로 설정하여 알고리즘의 성능을 분석하고 least-sqaures 빔 형성 알고리즘과 성능을 비교한다.

In this paper, an efficient direction-r)f-arrival based adaptive beamforming algorithm for orthogonal frequency-division multiple-access smart antenna systems is proposed. The proposed algorithm provides a high performance by steering main beams to the directions of a desired signal, whereas steering nulls to the directions of the interference, using the estimated directions. The beamforming outputs obtained by steering the main beams to the distinct directions of resolvable multipath signals are combined in a maximal ratio manner to exploit angular diversity gain. The performance elf the proposed algorithm is finally evaluated in cellular mobile environments to verify its efficiency and is compared with that of least-squares beamforming algorithm, by taking the WiBro system as a target system.
