The focus of this paper is to investigate the application of wideband adaptive array processing techniques to the problem of radar imaging. In particular we are interested in joint range-angle estimation with angular resolution improvement for small, relative to A , antennas. The simulations and experimental results indicate that this approach is viable in a practical sense, and yields signific...

Smart adaptive antenna technology is considered to be the last technology frontier that has the potential of leading to large increases in systems performance. Time domain techniques have been extensively exploited. Space domain techniques, on the other hand, have not been exploited to the same extent. When applied to wireless, the benefits of smart adaptive array a antennas are as follows: (i)...

Adaptive silver films (ASFs) have been studied as a substrate for protein microarrays. Vacuum evaporated silver films fabricated at certain range of evaporation parameters allow fine rearrangement of the silver nanostructure under protein depositions in buffer solution. Proteins restructure and stabilize the ASF to increase the surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) signal from a monolayer of...

We present a new algorithm and systolic array for adaptive beamforming. Our approach improves on McWhirter's pioneering work in two respects. First, our algorithm uses only orthogonal transformations and this should have better numerical properties. Second, the algorithms can be implemented on one single pxp triangular array of programmable processors that offers a throughput of one residual el...

Adaptive beamforming methods degrade in the presence of model mismatch. In this paper, we develop a modified interference covariance matrix reconstruction based beamformer that is robust against large array calibration errors. The calibration errors can come from the element position errors, and/or amplitude and phase errors, etc.. The proposed method is based on the fact that the sample covari...

One area of active interest in the GNSS community is determining the vulnerability of multi-antenna signal processing algorithms given calibration errors in antennas and analog front-end hardware. Errors introduced by the antennas or by the analog hardware that are not completely mitigated by software or calibration may lead to degradation in steering-vector accuracy. Of interest are the charac...

One of the most important functions of a radar antenna is to provide spatial filtering that maximizes the radar's sensitivity in the desired sUIveillance direction while suppressing interference signals that enter the radar from other directions. This article describes a UHF radar antenna systemwith exceptional interference-rejection capabilities that are achieved through a combination of preci...

In this paper, the performance of a smart antenna system based on a linear array is evaluated. The results presented here include the antenna pattern.
