The bit error rate (BER) performance of single-carrier (SC) block transmission in a frequency-selective fading channel can be significantly improved by the use of frequency-domain equalization (FDE). However, in multi-cell environment, the BER performance is degraded due to co-channel interference. Adaptive antenna array (AAA) is effective to suppress the cochannel interference. In this paper, ...

The paper is devoted to design of impulse or equivalent ultra-wide band array antenna for subsurface radar system. Receiving elements of this antenna are arranged in array with small physical aperture and polarimetric features. Two transmitting element support two polarization states for radiating signals. The radar antenna provides down-looking scanning in subsurface medium for small areas cov...

This paper presents a dual-band planar antenna array for ISM band applications (2.4 GHz and 2.45 GHz). This antenna is proposed for indoor applications and enables adaptive beamforming and angle of arrival (AOA) estimation. An adaptive beamforming algorithm is applied for a planar antenna array, which is able to steer its main beam and nulls in azimuth and elevation planes over a wide frequency...

NAVSYS High Gain Advanced GPS Receiver (HAGR) uses a digital beam-steering antenna array to enable up to eight GPS satellites to be tracked, each with up to 10 dBi of additional antenna gain over a conventional receiver solution. This digital, PC-based architecture provides a cost-effective solution for commercial applications where more precise GPS measurements are needed. The additional gain ...

A conformal antenna array is analysed using an enhanced FDTD method. This antenna array is designed for use for in a channel sounder for characterising MIMO channels at UMTS frequencies, and (scaled to work at higher frequencies) may also be proposed as a MIMO antenna for wireless LANs. The FDTD model is shown to be extremely accurate for characterising important parameters of the array such as...

Genetic algorithm for optimization of beam forming in linear array antenna is used. The goal is to achieve a -30 dB in the null of pattern with the capability of steering the null angle over the all frequency band. Our simulation shows a -30 dB up to -60 dB for this purpose. SPAA (Smart Phased Array Antenna) which is software for analysis, synthesis and simulation of adaptive phased array anten...

This paper describes the design of a compact, M-code capable, four element GPS adaptive antenna arrays made from stacked patch microstrip antenna elements. Possible applications for these antenna arrays are in military airborne platforms where the space available for installing antennas is very limited. To meet future GPS M code requirements, the antenna elements were designed for a bandwidth o...

This paper proposed a microstrip antenna array with DGS (Defective Ground Structure). The structure in this work is 2*1 microstrip patch array antenna using substrate with h= 0.762 mm and εr = 3.2. Two triangular-shaped patches are located on opposite side of PCB and spaced 14mm apart by a small ground portion. The proposed DGS of I-shape is placed in the ground plane. It does provide a method ...
