The Genetic algorithm optimization method is used in this paper for the synthesis of antenna array radiation pattern in adaptive beamforming. The synthesis problem in this paper discussed is to finding the weights of the antenna array elements that are optimum to provide the radiation pattern with maximum reduction in the sidelobe level. This technique proved its effectiveness in improving the ...

The work undertaken is the proposal and simulation of a reconfigurable microstrip antenna array for adaptive base station operating in the UMTS frequency band. Our array antenna is performed with Fr4 (Er = 4.5 tgδ = 0.02 h = 1.6mm). The basic antenna array is constituted of circular patches adapted with coplanar notches and circular patches parasite fed by electromagnetic coupling. The system a...

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...

The smart antenna systems combine antenna arrays with digital signal processing (DSP) algorithms. In a smart antenna system a specialized signal processor computes the direction of arrival (DOA) of a user and also adds the strength of the signals from each antenna element together to form a beam towards the direction as computed by DOA. If additional users join in the system, the adaptive anten...

GPS precision landing systems require significant multipath mitigation performance from ground station antennas to achieve the desired accuracy. Recently, multipathlimiting antennas have been designed specifically to meet requirements of the Local Area Augmentation Systems (LAAS) Ground Facility (LGF) specification. The most promising designs incorporate a linear-vertical array of antennas weig...

This paper presents the results of an interference localisation trial using an experimental adaptive antenna array currently under development. The prototype adaptive antenna array was driven through a field of RF transmitters and the direction of arrival (DOA) of multiple RF signals at various positions of the vehicle were estimated. From these DOA measurements the transmitter locations were e...

A low cross-polarization slot array antenna in the narrow wall of ridge waveguide is presented. A non-angled slot which is created in the narrow wall of the ridge waveguide is considered to be used as radiating resonant slot. The normalized resistance and normalized reactance curves are presented for design purposes. A six element slot array waveguide antenna with ridges on its narrow wall is t...

Modern Radars use phased array antenna for higher directive gains. These array antennas can be used to form a beam in the desired direction also known as beam steering, if there is any jammer present then it cannot be suppressed by just beamforming or beam steering, in such case we need to use Adaptive antenna. Adaptive antennas use the smart signal processing algorithms also known as adaptive ...

In this paper we have presented the use of reconfigurable microstrip patch antenna elements in adaptive arrays. The combination of both reconfigurability and adaptivity in a single array is investigated. As the different standards have different requirements and use different frequency bands mainly around 2.4GHz to 5 GHz, the RF circuits and antennas designed for each system must be able to wor...
