Download or read book Performance Analysis of Space time Adaptive Antenna Electronics for Time of arrival Estimation written by Andrew O'Brien and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: Antenna arrays with adaptive signal processing are commonly utilized to allow the reception of signals in harsh interference environments. Modern interference suppression typically involves the use of space-time adaptive processing (STAP). The primary applications of STAP have been radar and communications systems, where interference suppression performance is commonly optimized for output signal-to-noise ratio (SINR); however, there is increasing demand for STAP in time-of-arrival estimation applications, such as geolocation. Since output SINR is an inadequate indication of TOA estimation performance, reconsideration of STAP for these applications is required. It is understood that TOA estimation variance is primarily dependent on post-correlation carrier-to-noise ratio (C/N). Consequently, the present work develops a novel STAP algorithm which maximizes C/N. The distinction between SINR and C/N will be established, and a performance analysis of the common STAP methods will be performed in the context of this new algorithm. Additionally, the analysis is extended to the TOA estimation variance. It will be demonstrated that optimal STAP systems for TOA estimation follow from the optimal C/N algorithm. In the end, this contributes not only useful performance bounds, but insight into the proper design of STAP systems specifically for TOA estimation applications.

Download or read book Active Cancellation of Probing in Linear Dipole Phased Array written by Hema Singh and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-09-24 with total page 73 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, a modified improved LMS algorithm is employed for weight adaptation of dipole array for the generation of beam pattern in multiple signal environments. In phased arrays, the generation of adapted pattern according to the signal scenario requires an efficient adaptive algorithm. The antenna array is expected to maintain sufficient gain towards each of the desired source while at the same time suppress the probing sources. This cancels the signal transmission towards each of the hostile probing sources leading to active cancellation. In the book, the performance of dipole phased array is demonstrated in terms of fast convergence, output noise power and output signal-to-interference-and noise ratio. The mutual coupling effect and role of edge elements are taken into account. It is established that dipole array along with an efficient algorithm is able to maintain multilobe beamforming with accurate and deep nulls towards each probing source. This work has application to the active radar cross section (RCS) reduction. This book consists of formulation, algorithm description and result discussion on active cancellation of hostile probing sources in phased antenna array. It includes numerous illustrations demonstrating the theme of the book for different signal environments and array configurations. The concepts in this book are discussed in an easy-to-understand manner, making it suitable even for the beginners in the field of phased arrays and adaptive array processing.
