The target must be located within the main-lobe of the antenna in order to measure the direction of the target by using sum-delta monopulse technique. The most common way if the target is located within the main-lobe is to compare the amplitude of the sum channel received signal with the delta channel received signal. However, in the case of the single-ring circular array antenna, it is difficult to apply the conventional method due to its structural limitation where antenna elements do not exist in the center of the array. In this paper, we proposed a novel method to identify whether a target is located within the main-lobe by appropriately adjusting the feeding amplitude of each element constituting the single-ring circular array antenna through the particle swarm optimization method. Simulation results showed that the proposed method can determine whether the target is located within the main-lobe of the single-ring circular array antenna.

The goal of this paper is to analyze, through simulations and experiments, GNSS interference mitigation performance under various types of antenna structures against wideband and narrowband interferences using spatial-temporal adaptive signal processing (STAP) techniques. The STAP approach, which combines spatial and temporal processing, is a viable means of GNSS array signal processing that enhancing the desired signal quality and providing protection against interference. In this paper, we consider four types of 3D antenna array structure - Uniform Linear Array (ULA), Uniform Rectangular Array (URA), Uniform Circular Array (UCA), and the Single-Ring Cylindrical Array (SRCA) under an interference environment. Analytical evaluation and simulations are performed to investigate the system performance. This is followed by simulation GPS orbits in interfered environment are used to evaluate the STAP performance. Furthermore, experiments using a 2x2 URA hardware simulator data show that with the removal of wideband and narrowband interference through the STAP techniques, the signal tracking performance can be enhanced.

Single-ring circular array antennas can be applied to direction finding systems in order to use nose-section in other purposes, and the interferometry is a proper direction finding method to those systems. We usually make the interferometer baseline long enough to achieve good angular accuracy. However, an interferometer with baseline longer than a half-wavelength has the ambiguity problem. In this paper, we present a novel method for solving the ambiguity problem in interferometry systems. This technique is based on the amplitude comparison method and the space division table, and it can place a target within the angular region in which the ambiguity problem does not occur by roughly estimating direction-of-arrival. The Monte Carlo simulation results show that proposed method can effectively remove the ambiguity problem in the system.

본 논문에서는 X 밴드 주파수에서 단얼 마이크로스트립 선로 급전방식을 갖는 원형 편파 개구면-패치 안테나(aperture-patch antenna) 및 환 구조 안테나(ring antenna)를 설계, 제작하여 특성을 측정하였다. 개구면-패치 안테나는 동작 대역폭이 매우 넓으며, 환 구조 안테나는 크기가 작아서 대형 배열안테나의 기본 복사소자로 적합하다. 이 두 종류의 안테나에 대하여 VSWR 대역폭과 원형편파 축비(axial ratio)를 개선하기 위한 여러 가지 설계 파라미터의 영향을 분석하였다. 개구면과 환 복사소자는 공진기 모델(cavity mode!)에 근거하여 초기 설계를 하였으며. 원형편파를 발생시키기 위한 개구면 내부의 패치와 환 내부의 스터브(stub) 는 Ensemble 소프트웨어를 사용하여 최적화 하였다. 제작된 안테나는 개구면-패치 안테나의 경우 25 %의 V VSWR 대역폭(3dB 기준)과 1.2 dB의 최소 축비를 가지며, 환 구조 안테나에서는 6.7 %의 VSWR 대역폭과 1.6 dB의 최소 축비를 가진다.
