A null steering GPS antenna array is designed in this paper. In the proposed method, the exact full wave antenna radiation properties with the effect of mutual couplings and nearby scatterers are considered to calculate the array steering vector, precisely. Although the proposed method is not constrained by the array geometry and the antenna element specifications, a five patch antenna elements...

Adaptive filters are novel kind of filters used in Digital Signal Processing with adjustable weights. The weight adjustment in adaptive filters is done using some special kind of algorithms called as adaptive algorithms. Adaptive filters have a number of applications in various fields like signal processing, communication systems biomedical etc. One of the novel applications of Adaptive filters...

Satellite Communication Systems are beneficial in providing communication services to vast regions especially where the adequate infrastructure for communication may not be constructed. Wireless communication is one of the fastest growing fields in the engineering world. Introduction on adaptive antenna array is described in this paper. Linear adaptive algorithm LMS (Least mean square) is used ...

MC-CDMA is an attractive multi-access method for the next generation high-speed mobile communication systems. The uplink transmission performance is limited by the multi-access interference (MAI) from other users since all users share the same bandwidth. Adaptive antenna array can be used to suppress the MAI and to improve the uplink transmission performance. In this paper, we propose a frequen...

In this paper two linear arrays including a linear 1×4 and a planar 2×2 of microstrip patch and half-mode substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) cavity hybrid antenna are introduced and investigated. These are simply implemented using low cost single layer printed circuit board (PCB) process. The array element consists of a rectangular microstrip patch with appropriate dimensions in the vicinity ...

This paper, specifically written for GradCon ’99, presents an overview of the field of adaptive arrayprocessing. Beginning with a brief review of array synthesis theory, the concept of an adaptive array is introducedand defined. The broad field of adaptive array applications can be divided into two categories: adaptive signalprocessing for multiple access communication systems, and ...

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, ...

In this paper, the design and implementation of plasma antenna array with beam forming is discussed. The structure consists of a circular array of plasma tube enclosed in a unipolar UHF band monopole antenna. Beam forming is possible by stimulated plasma tubes. The combination of the above antenna with plasma excitation controller makes a beam forming smart antenna. An experimental model in UHF...

A/M~Tw!,In this paper, a multicarrier DS/CDMA system with adaptive antenna array is proposed for a multipath fading channel. A multipath fading channel is modeled as a Nakagami-m fading channel. The performance is evaluated in terms of bit error probability, and system capacity for the multicarrier DS/CDM A system with adaptive antenna array is estimated. From the analytic and simulation result...
