Implementation of MUSIC Algorithm for a Smart Antenna System for Mobile Communications

چکیده
This paper presents practical design of a smart antenna system based on direction-of-arrival estimation and adaptive beam forming. Direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation is based on the MUSIC algorithm for identifying the directions of the source signals incident on the sensor array comprising the smart antenna system. Adaptive beam forming is achieved using the LMS algorithm for directing the main beam towards the desired source signals and generating deep nulls in the directions of interfering signals. The smart antenna system designed involves a hardware part which provides real data measurements of the incident signals received by the sensor array. Results obtained verify the improved performance of the smart antenna system when the practical measurements of the signal environment surrounding the sensor array are used. This takes the form of sharper peaks in the MUSIC angular spectrum and deep nulls in the LMS array beam pattern.

The smart antenna systems combine antenna arrays with digital signal processing (DSP) algorithms. In a smart antenna system a specialized signal processor computes the direction of arrival (DOA) of a user and also adds the strength of the signals from each antenna element together to form a beam towards the direction as computed by DOA.
