This paper discusses the implementation and performance evaluation of a DSP-based digital beamformer using the Texas Instrument TMSC6711 DSP processor for smart antenna applications. Two adaptive beamforming algorithms which served as the brain for the beamformer, the Normalized Least-Mean-Square (NLMS) and the Constant Modulus Algorithms (CMA) were embedded into the processor and evaluated. Result shows that the NLMS-based digital beamformer outperforms the CMA-based digital beamformer: 1)For NLMS algorithm, the antenna steers to the direction of the desired user even at low iteration value and the suppression level towards the interferer increases as the number of iteration increase. For CMA algorithm, the beam radiation pattern slowly steers to the desired user as the number of iteration increased, but at arate slower than NLMS algorithm and the sidelobe level is shown to increases as the number of iteration increase. 2) The NLMS algorithm has faster convergence than CMA algorithm and the error convergence for CMA algorithm sometimes is subject to misadjustment.

In this paper, we implement a digital multi-beamformer using FPGA(Field Programmable Gate Array) which has advantages in parallel and real-time data processing. This is accomplished through the use of not only high-speed data communication but also multiple beam forming, which is currently required by MFR(Multi Function Radar). As a result, the beamformer can process 24 Gbps throughput in real-time and form 5 digital beams at the same time. It is also compared to the results of Matlab simulations. We demonstrate how an implemented beamformer can be used in an MFR system by using a digital array antenna.

본 논문에서는 이동 수신 및 다중경로 환경에서의 ATSC(advanced television system committee) DTV(digital television) 수신기의 성능개선을 위한 적응 하이브리드 빔형성기를 제안한다. ATSC DTV 수신기는 이동 수신 환경에서 동적 다중 경로와 도플러 천이로 인하여 수신 성능이 심각하게 열화 된다. 본 논문에서는 입사각 추정 기반의 Capon 빔형성 기법과 훈련열기반의 LMS(lease mean square) 빔형성 알고리듬을 혼합한 CLMS (Capon and LMS) 빔형성 기법을 제안한다. 제안된 CLMS 빔형성 기법은 동적 다중경로 신호를 효율적으로 제거하고, 수신기의 이동 수신시 도플러 천이에 의해서 발생되는 위상 왜곡에 대한 보상이 가능하다. CLMS 빔형성기와 직렬 연결된 등화기는 어레이 출력의 잔존하는 다중경로 간섭신호들을 효율적으로 제거해줌으로써 좀더 향상된 수신 성능을 보장할 수 있다. 모의 실험을 통하여 CLMS 빔형성 기법과 기존의 빔형성 기법 및 등화기 결합 시스템의 성능을 분석한다.

We propose a new digital beamforming algorithm using an interpolation filter in ultrasonic imaging systems. We compared the performances of the proposed algorithm to those of the conventional digital bemforming algorisms, post-beamformer and phase rotation beamformer, by a computer simulation and experiments. The results show that the proposed algorithm has better performance than the others.

This paper introduces the near field shading beamformer using widely known Chebyshev and Hanning window in the field of digital signal processing. The proposed shading beamformer improves the estimation of range as well as azimuth angle of targe residing in near field. A series of sensor weighting values are calculated from the FFT operation of given shading functions in time domain. This paper verifies the performance of the focused beamformer having the proposed shading sensor weights which are used to detect the range of target. Throughout computer simulations this paper exploits the performance improvement of the proposed shading beamformer as varying the frequency band of the received radiated signal along the non-uniform array.

This paper discusses the development of an acoustic vector channel simulator for the performance analysis of an acoustic digital communication system. The channel simulator consists of transmission module, acoustic channel model, receiver, beamformer, and adaptive equalizer. The source signal (QPSK) is generated by the specified parameters. The transmitted signal generates multipath signals which have a different delay, amplitude and doppler frequency. The paper presents in details the approach to the performance analysis of an acoustic digital communication system according to the antenna structure and the various baseband signal processing techniques.

The multibeam surveillance radar is a state-of-art of 3D radar technology. It applies the stacked beams realized by a digital beamformer. In this paper, a hybrid compensation technique on elevation angle errors for low elevation angle targets over the sea in multipath radar environments is proposed. The proposed method can be applied to stacked beam radars. Double null algorithm based on maximum likelihood method in 3-D beamspace domain works well unless the phase difference between the two rays(direct and specular path) is close to $0^{\circ}$ and the magnitude of reflection coefficient is close to 0. To overcome these problems, we propose a hybrid compensation technique which uses the selective double null algorithm and the beam-ratio compensation technique for low-elevation errors on a log scale. Results of computer simulation show that the proposed method outperform conventional monopulse method and double null algorithm only under various multipath environments.
