  • 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.

  • 이 논문에서는 등간격 사각형 배열(Uniform Rectangular Array: URA)을 사용하는, 계산상 효율적인 2차원 도래각(Direction of Arrival: DoA) 추정 방법을 제안한다. 제안된 방법은 안테나에 도달한 수신 신호들간의 상관행렬 대신 그들 사이의 위상 관계에 직접적으로 기반하고 있기 때문에 직접 신호-기반 방법이라고 한다. 시뮬레이션 결과에 따르면 직접 신호-기반의 방법이 기존의 어느 방법들보다 현저히 적은 계산량으로도 평균 제곱근 오차(Root-Mean-Squared Error: RMSE)와 최대 절대 오차 측면에서 다중 신호 분류(MUltiple SIgnal Classification: MUSIC) 방법과 비교할 만한 성능을 보여준다.

  • 안테나 어레이 기반의 무선 통신 시스템에서 신호의 도래각(: Angle-of-Arrival, AOA) 정보는 매우 중요한 요소이며, 이를 추정하기 위한 다수의 방법들이 존재한다. 대부분의 도래각 추정 알고리즘은 등간격 선형 배열(: Uniform Linear Array, ULA) 안테나를 기반으로 하고 있으며, 몇몇의 알고리즘은 평면 배열(: Planar Array, PA) 안테나를 적용하였다. 본 논문에서는 등간격 사각 어레이 안테나를 기반으로 인접하게 위치한 여러 개의 신호 도래각들을 효율적으로 추정하기 위한 알고리즘을 소개한다. 제시된 알고리즘은 두 단계를 거치는데, 가까운 신호원들이 모여 이루어진 대략적인 신호원 그룹을 CAPON 알고리즘을 사용하여 추정한 후, 추정된 그룹 안에 포함되어 있는 각 신호원의 상세한 도래각을 Beamspace MUSIC 알고리즘을 사용하여 추정한다. 시뮬레이션을 통해 제시된 도래각 추정 알고리즘의 성능을 평가하고 분석한다.

  • 균일한 소자 (안테나 또는 감지기) 간격으로 계수치를 체감하는 것보다 균일한 계수치로 소자의 간격을 체감하는 것이 실용적이며, 직사각형 어레이에서는, 삼각형 격자 구조가 직사각형 격자구조 보다 소자 수를 줄이는데 더 경제적이다. 접지판 위에 설치된 삼각형 격자 구조를 가진 직사각형 위상어레이의 성능을 향상시키기 위하여 소자간격 체감 방법을 제안하였다. 소자간격 체감이 주빔(main beam)의 폭과 측면로브(sidelobe)의 높이에 미치는 영향을 논의하였다. 제안된 방법을 사용한 결과 측면로브의 성능이 향상되었으나 주빔폭은 약간 넓어지는 것이 밝혀졌다.

  • For a wireless communication system, the angle-of-arrival (AOA) of the signal has a variety of applications. The signal AOA is estimated utilizing various antenna array structure such as Uniform Linear Array (ULA), Uniform Rectangular Array (URA), and Uniform Circular Array (UCA). In this paper, we introduce a cascade AOA estimation algorithm based on the UCA, which is consisted of CAPON and Beamspace MUSIC. CAPON is employed to estimate approximate AOA groups including multiple AOA signals and Beamspace MUSIC is employed to estimate detailed signal AOAs in the estimated AOA groups. In addition, we provide the computer simulation results for verifying and analyzing the performance of the cascade AOA estimator based on UCA.

  • Given a cubic space, it is easy to uniformly illuminate the floor with light sources placed on top. However, little has been reported about uniform illumination on walls with the same configuration of light sources. Here we present a luminaire consisting of nine light-emitting diodes (LEDs) with perfect Lambertian distribution, placed on the top as a 3 × 3 rectangular LED array. The distances between LEDs and tilt angles of each individual LED are adjustable and optimized by an annealing algorithm. After optimization, the array produces a rectangular illumination pattern on one wall with a uniformity of about 89%. Analysis shows that the tilt angles of individual LEDs are key parameters for uniform side illumination. In a scenario that is more practical, the tilt angles of all the LEDs are set to be the same, only decreasing the uniformity to 83%.

  • In this paper, we design an optimal planar array geometry for maximum side-lobe reduction. The concept of thinned array is applied to obtain an optimal two dimensional(2-D) planar array structure. First, a 2-D rectangular array with uniform spacing is used as an initial planar array structure. Next, we modify the initial planar array geometry with the aid of thinned array theory in order to reduce the maximum side-lobe level. This is implemented by a genetic algorithm under some constraint, minimizing the maximum side-lobe level of the 2-D planar array. It is shown that the optimized planar array structure can achieve low side-lobe level without optimizing the excitations of the array antennas.

  • The Angle-of-Arrival (AOA) estimation in real time is one of core technologies for the real-time tracking system, such as a radar or a satellite. Although AOA estimation algorithms for various antenna types have been studied, most of them are for the single-shaped array antenna suitable to the specific frequency. In this paper, we propose the cascade AOA estimation algorithm for the combined array antenna with Uniform Rectangular Frame Array (URFA) and Uniform Circular Array (UCA), with the excellent performance for various frequencies. The proposed technique is consisted of Capon for roughly finding AOA groups with multiple signal AOAs and Beamspace Multiple Signal Classification (MUSIC) for estimating the detailed signal AOA in the AOA group, for the combined array antenna. In addition, we provide computer simulation results for verifying the estimation performance of the proposed algorithm.

  • In this paper, we present design methods for a series-fed microstrip patch array operating at X-band frequency. The array consists of 18 rectangular patches connected to 3 quarter-wave impedance transformers. The power divider is designed for the uniform element excitation. The element excitation is then made to be tapered by increasing the input impedance of elements located at array edges. The designed antenna is fabricated and tested. Results of test show a fair agreement with the prediction.
