Antenna Array Beamforming Technology: Enabling Superior Aeronautical Communication Link Performance
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we propose the exploitation of array beamforming technology in high-speed aeronautical communication applications, e.g., the integrated Network Enhanced Telemetry (iNET) system. By flexible steering of beams and nulls, an array can enhance desired signals whereas the undesired signals such as interference and jammers are suppressed. The proposed adaptive beamforming technology is DSP-based and network-aware, and is designed for the use at aerial vehicle platforms to increase transmission power efficiency, improve receiving signal sensitivity, mitigate interference/multipath effects, and extend the communication range.

متن کاملDesign of Rotman Lens Antenna at Ku-Band Based on Substrate Integrated Technology
In this research work, a multibeam antenna which is a combination of a beamformer network (BFN) and a linear array antenna, has been designed. A Rotman lens has been chosen as beamformer network and Vivaldi antennas have been selected for constructing array antenna. The Substrate Integrated Waveguide (SIW) was used for implementing Rotman lens. After explanation the structure of Substrate integ...
متن کاملB-Mode Photoacoustic Imaging using Linear Array: Numerical Study for Forward-Backward Minimum Variance Beamformer Combined with Delay-Multiply-and-Sum
Photoacoustic imaging (PAI) is a promising medical imaging modality which provides the resolution of Ultrasound (US) and the contrast of Optical imaging modalities. One of the most important challenges in PAI is image formation, especially in the case that a linear-array US transducer is used for data acquisition. This is due to the fact that in the linear-array scenario, there is only 60 degre...
متن کاملLLMS Adaptive Array Beamforming Algorithm for Concentric Circular Arrays
An improvement of Signal-to-Interference Ratio (SIR) at the base station of a wireless communication system can be obtained using a suitable choice of an array antenna. In this paper we consider Concentric Circular Antenna Array (CCAA) which can be used for adaptive antenna systems. A new adaptive algorithm, called least mean square-least mean Square (LLMS) algorithm, has been proposed for diff...
متن کاملTransmit and Receive Beamforming for OFDMA/TDD System
It is well-known that mobile communication systems are usually limited in their performance and capacity by three major impairments, which are multi-path fading, delay spread and co-channel interference (CCI). OFDMA (OFDM-FDMA) system can cope with the multi-path fading and delay spread easily due to the beneficial properties of OFDM technology. Though OFDMA scheme avoids intra-cell interferenc...
