초록

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 Angle-of-Arrival(AOA) information for an array antenna receiver is one of the important factors for estimating the location of specific signals and detecting signals efficiently, in various situations. The AOA estimator in the satellite environment can rapidly calculate the AOA information in the wide area, utilizing a planar (grid, circular) array antenna mounted on the satellite. Since the satellite receiver has the limitation of the array antenna size, the concentric circular (ring) array (CCA or CRA) antenna structure with comparatively small size but with multiple antenna elements is more efficient than the uniform circular array (UCA) structure, for the satellite environment. In this paper, we introduce a cascade AOA estimation algorithm based on CRA, consisting of CAPON and Beamspace MUSIC. In addition, we provide computer simulation examples for verifying the estimation performance of the cascade AOA estimation algorithm based on CRA and compare it to the case of UCA.
