This paper presents a general inequality for the grating lobes of the planar phased array, whether rectangular lattice or triangular lattice. And for the planar phased array with grating lobes, the maximum scanning angle is given.

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...

Background: Aim of this study is to evaluate the accuracy of the gated volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT/RapidArc) using 2D planar dosimetry, DynaLog files and COMPASS 3D dosimetry system. Materials and Methods: Pre-treatment quality assurance of 10 gated VMAT plans was verified using 2D array and COMPASS 3D dosimetry system. Advantage of COMPASS over 2D planar is that it provides the clin...

The parallel processing systolic array architecture is designed for the real time VLSI spatio temporal 3D Infinite Impulse Response (IIR) frequency planar filter to achieve high throughput of one frame per clock cycle (OFPCC). To reduce the circuit complexity by designing the architecture, that is based on differential form transfer function of a 3D IIR frequency planar filter. The 3D Look Ahea...

In this paper, a novel single pilot array shape calibration algorithm is proposed for an arbitrary planar array. The method requires a single multi-carrier pilot operating at a known location with respect to the arbitrary array reference point. Typically two (minimum) or more sources are required to calibrate the shape of a planar array. However, by exploiting the difference in the array respon...

In this paper we investigate a small broadside planar (2D) superdirective microphone array for speech acquisition in the car and compare its performance to linear arrays. The objective of this investigation is to replace an expensive directional microphone by a small array of inexpensive omnidirectional sensors. Since the array was designed to be used in the car environment it has to satisfy re...

We consider the role of array geometry on the Direction of Arrival (DOA) estimating performance of the array where the impinging signal is wideband. We concentrate on arrays that have isotropic performance. An isotropic array is one whose Cramér Rao bound (CRB) on the DOA of a single source is uniform for all angles. We derive the necessary and sufficient conditions on the location of array ele...
