Rapid adv an ces in VLSI technology are making it feasible to cons ider th e const ruction of parallel compute rs with very lar ge numbers of cells. On e promising architecture for such computers is a VLSI cellula r array that interconnects many simp le processing cells on a single lar ge chip or wafer. It will be very difficult , however, to make a chip of this kind without many defects. With ...

This report focuses on the application of adaptive arrays to the Advanced Mobile Phone Service (AMPS) and Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) cellular systems. Adaptive arrays have been proposed as early as in the 1960s to improve the signal quality, but most of its applications were restricted to defense purposes. Recently, there has been a surge in interest of applying adaptive arrays for ce...

uniform linear array (ula)-based tapped-delay line (tdl) structure has good performance metrics when the signal sources are located at the middle angles. it offers poor performance when the signal sources are close to the array endfire. in this paper, a new approach is proposed which offers higher performance and desired beamforming on tdl structure when the wideband uncorrelated radio sources ...

A new four elements compact antenna array is presented and discussed to achieve enhanced phase resolution without sacrificing the array output power. This structure inspired by the Ormia Ochracea’s coupled ears. The analogy between this insect acute directional hearing capabilities and the electrically compact antenna array is used to enhance the array sensitivity to direction of arrival estima...
