Sidelobe canceller(SLC) requires main beam pattern(SUM beam) and auxiliary beam patterns for rejection of sidelobe noise jammer. For best performance of sidelobe noise jamming cancellation of adaptive SLC, gain dominant region of each auxiliary beam pattern shall not be overlapped one another in elevation/azimuth regions of sidelobe of main beam, and beam patterns of auxiliary channels should have low gains in regions of mainlobe of main beam. In the monopulse radar, the difference beam patterns for monopulse processing have these properties. This paper proposes the method using data from the difference channel for monopulse processing as data from auxiliary channel for sidelobe cancellation. For the proposed SLC, the results of simulation and performance analysis was presented. If the proposed method is used in the monopulse radar, SLC can be constructed by using basic SUM and difference channels without extra channel composition.

In this paper, a digital active phased array antenna is briefly introduced and beam forming method for a dual-channel side-lobe blanking applied to blank the side-lobe of the main beam is described. Next, the antenna performance was verified from results of design and antenna near-field measurement for the antenna main beam and side-lobe blanking beam. Then, a single-channel side-lobe blanking beam forming method was proposed to reduce the number of channels than the existing system operating dual-channel side-lobe blanking beam and weight distribution for each element of the side-lobe blanking antenna was designed with the proposed method. Finally, the designed single-channel side-lobe blanking beam pattern and blanking ability were verified and compared with the dual-channel side-lobe blanking beam. In addition, by comparing/verifying the conventional dual-channel and the proposed single-channel side-lobe blanking beam patterns measured through the receiving near-field test of the digital active phased array antenna and their ability to blank side-lobe of the main beam, validity of the proposed method for forming single-channel side-lobe blanking beam was confirmed.

Hybrid beamformer composed of Direction-of-Arrival (DOA) based scheme followed by Maximal Ratio Combining (MRC) is proposed to overcome the degradation due to inaccurate channel estimation caused by insufficient pilot power, which happens in conventional Single-Input Multiple-Output (SIMO) Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) reverse link. The proposed scheme could provide more accurate channel estimation and interference reduction at the expense of diversity gam in the spatially correlated SIMO channel. As a result, hybrid scheme outperforms conventional MRC beamformer for six or more antennas in the channel environment, in which Angle-of-Spread (AOS) is within 30$^{\circ}$.

In this paper, we propose a downlink beamforming method which is considered common pilot channel for coherent detection and dedicated traffic channel for desired user in FDD/CDMA systems. The existing downlink beamforming system produces phase mismatch between traffic and pilot signals at desired mobile as well as interference to other mobiles. A new downlink beamforming method can solve above problem based on least squares method between reference function and beamforming function. A numerical analysis shows that the proposed downlink beamforming method matches well and gives low BER performance.

Feedback burden of a full-digital energy beamforming, which is known as the optimal precoding scheme for radio frequency (RF) energy transfer, is huge because it uses a vector quantization for a channel feedback. To reduce the feedback burden, we consider a beam steering based wireless energy transfer, which uses a scalar quantization. Researches related to the beam steering based wireless energy transfer have been studied in special channel model with an assumption of full channel state information at the transmitter. In this paper, we analyze the beam steering scheme compared with the full-digital energy beamforming for practical channel models with channel estimation errors. According to characteristics of the millimeter wave channel, the number of antennas of the base station and the user, the distance between them, and channel estimation errors, we simulate the performance of the beam steering scheme and analyze reasons why.

In this paper, we consider an uplink multiuser hybrid beamforming system where an access point (AP) communicates with multiple users simultaneously. The performance of the uplink multiuser hybrid beamforming system depends on the effective channel which is given by the product of the channel matrix and the analog beams. Therefore, to maximize the performance, we need to obtain the channel information and then select the analog beams appropriately by using the acquired channel information. In this paper, we propose the channel estimation method and low complexity analog beam selection algorithm for the uplink multiuser hybrid beamforming system. Additionally, our analysis shows that the proposed low complexity analog beam selection algorithm provides much less complexity than the optimum analog beam selection algorithm. From the numerical results, we confirm that the proposed low complexity analog beam selection algorithm has little performance degradation in spite of much less complexity than the optimum analog beam selection algorithm under the equal system configuration.

최근에 cdma2000-lx 시스템의 역방향에 파일럿 채널이 추가되면서 적은 계산량으로 구현이 가능한 LMS 빔 형성 기법이 연구되고 있다. 그러나 기존의 LMS 빔 형성 방식의 경우 무선 페이딩 채널에 적응하기 위하여 고정된 step-sire parameter를 이용하였다. 하지만 이러한 고정된 step-size parameter를 사용할 경우 MSE가 증가하여 좋은 성능을 얻을 수 없다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 LMS 순 방향 빔 형성 기법에서 채널을 추정하여 추정된 채널과 LMS 가중치의 오차에 적응하는 step-size parameter를 결정함으로써 적은 MSE만으로 가중치 값을 추정하는 CA-LMS(Channel Adaptive Least Mean Square) 방식을 이용한 순방향 빔 형성 기법을 제안한다. 제안한 방식에 대하여 cdma2000-lx 환경에서 다양한 페이딩 환경에 적용하여 제안한 방식이 우수함을 확인 할 수 있다.

In this paper, we consider a beamforming game between the transmitters in a two-user multiple-input single-output interference channel using limited feedback and investigate how each transmitter is able to find a modified strategy from the quantized channel state information (CSI). In the beamforming game, each of the transmitters (i.e., a player) tries to maximize the achievable rate (i.e., a payoff function) via a proper beamforming strategy. In our case, each transmitter's beamforming strategy is represented by a linear combining factor between the maximum ratio transmission (MRT) and the zero forcing (ZF) beamforming vectors, which is the Pareto optimal achieving strategy. With the quantized CSI, the transmitters' strategies may not be valid because of the quantization errors. We propose a modified solution, which takes into account the effects of the quantization errors.

홀 방식 이온빔 소스는 방전 채널 내부에 중성기체 및 전자를 주입하여 플라즈마를 생성하며, 생성된 이온들은 자기장에 의해 구속된 전자들과 양극이 만드는 전기장에 의해 가속되어 이온 빔을 발생시킨다. 홀 방식 이온빔 소스에는 고리형 소스와 원통형 소스가 있으며, 기하학적 구조 및 자기장 구조가 달라 발생되는 이온전류, 가속효율, 연료효율, 이온화 비율 등 플라즈마 특성이 다르다. 특히, 플라즈마의 이온화 비율은 이온빔 소스의 방전 전류 및 연료효율에 영향을 미치며, 다중전하를 띤 이온의 높은 에너지는 채널벽의 침식 문제를 야기하는 등 이온빔의 전하량 분석 연구는 물리적 연구측면 뿐만 아니라 실용적인 측면에서도 매우 중요하다. 원통형 소스의 경우 연료효율이 100% 이상으로, 이온화 효율이 매우 높아 발생되는 이온의 가속효율도 높게 나타난다. 본 연구에서는, 이를 통해 다중이온을 진단할 수 있는 ExB 탐침을 개발하여, 다중이온의 생성 비율과 연료 효율과의 관계를 살펴보았다. 이온전위지연 탐침과 패러데이 탐침을 이용하여 채널 및 자기장 구조에 따른 전류 분포 및 이온에너지분포를 측정하였으며, 이온 빔의 효율 및 플라즈마 특성을 분석하였다.
