Effects of Steering Delay Quantization in Beamforming
نویسنده
چکیده
The effect of steering delay quantization on beamformer frequency and azimuth response is not well understood. This project will attempt to analyze the relationship between steering delay quantization, with its corresponding impact on computational complexity, and beamformer response error. Results found here should benefit both conventional beamforming and modern adaptive beamforming applications.

Quantization Analysis for Reconfigurable Phased Array Beamforming
In reconfigurable phased array radars beamforming is performed in the digital domain. Digital implementation can be carried out using finite precision and infinite precision representation of the phased array signal. We consider finite precision representation, since it takes considerably less implementation resources compared with the infinite case. In this paper we analyze quantization effect...
متن کاملCapacity Enhancement of Ad Hoc Networks using a New Beamforming Scheme Based on ESPAR
This paper proposes a new smart antenna beamforming scheme based on electronically steerable parasitic array radiator (ESPAR). The proposed method is capable of providing better capacity compared to the conventional ESPAR. The termination of each antenna element in this structure comprises a PIN diode in addition to a varactor. Using PIN diode besides the varactor provides more degrees of freed...
متن کاملPerformance of Transmit Beamforming in Ricean Fading Channels: Robustness on Quantization Error and Feedback Error
In this paper we examine the robustness of two element transmit beamforming in the presence of feedback delay and quantization error. Specifically, we examine the robustness of two-element beamforming techniques in the presence of Ricean fading. We show that when the fading is Ricean, feedback methods are significantly more robust than when the fading is Rayleigh. This is significant since many...
متن کاملOpto-VLSI-Based Broadband True-Time Delay Generation for Phased Array Beamforming
Electronically controlled phased-array antennas can adaptively scan radiated beams in three-dimensional space without mechanically moving parts. While most of the research on phased-array antennas has been focusing on broadband beam steering less attention has been devoted to null steering. Broadband null steering requires a beamformer that can generate variable and frequency independent true t...
متن کاملAdaptive beamforming in row-column addressed arrays for 3D ultrasound imaging
In recent years, to reduce the complexity of implementation, the use of 2D arrays with restricted row-column addressing has been considered for 3D ultrasound imaging. In this paper, two methods of adaptive beamforming based on the minimum variance method are represented in such a way that the computational load is much less than using the full adaptive beamforming method. In both proposed metho...
