Digital Beamforming 2 D Antenna for X - band
نویسندگان
چکیده
Our aim is to develop a microwave antenna whose radiation pattern is electronically controlled. The radiation pattern of regular antennas is determined by the Fourier-transform of the complex illumination function on the antenna aperture. This radiation pattern is mechanically fixed so its alteration is impossible. Therefore we construct an antenna system of several antenna elements. All elements are actuated by separate transmitters; we control the amplitude and the phase of the supplying currents of the antenna elements. This way, we are able to control the radiation pattern of the antenna system. The control is computerized so that there is a possibility to change the radiation pattern quickly..

متن کاملOn uplink CDMA cell capacity: mutual coupling and scattering effects on beamforming
It has been shown that code-division multiple-access (CDMA) systems that employ digital beamforming and base-station antenna arrays have the potential to significantly increase capacity. Therefore, accurate performance prediction of such systems is important. We propose to take the electromagnetic behavior of the base-station antenna array into account, as well as its impact on wireless channel...
