This paper describes the synthesis of digitally excited pencil/flat top dual beams simultaneously in a linear antenna array constructed of isotropic elements. The objective is to generate a pencil/flat top beam pair using the excitations generated by the evolutionary algorithms. Both the beams share common variable discrete amplitude excitations and differ in variable discrete phase excitations...

Channel capacities and data rates of mobile communications have been increasing to meet demands of modern communications. In order to achieve a low bit error rate (BER), we need high signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR). To realize the high SINR, it is effective to use an adaptive array antenna [1]. The adaptive array antenna can reduce the influence of multipath rays. On the other ha...

-This paper discusses the deployment of Genetic algorithm optimization method for synthesis of antenna array radiation pattern in adaptive beam forming. The synthesis problem discussed is to find the weights of the antenna array elements that are optimum to provide the radiation pattern with maximum reduction in the side lobe level. This technique proved its effectiveness in improving the perfo...

An extreamly large scale periodic array antenna is required for the power transmission in the space solar power systems. Analysis of the array antenna is important to estimate radiation property of the array antenna, but a full-wave analysis requires too much computer memory and too long CPU time. In order to overcome this difficulty, the impedance extension method is proposed as a method of ap...

This paper proposes the circular antenna array to suppress the cochannel interference for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) modulation systems. The conventional cochannel interference suppression system employs the linear antenna array in the receiver side, and the capability of circular antenna array in suppressing cochannel interference is...

A novel broadband horizontally polarized (HP) omnidirectional planar antenna is developed for mobile communications. The proposed antenna consists of four printed arc dipoles that form a circular loop for HP omnidirectional radiation. A broadband feeding network which includes four broadband baluns and an impedance matching circuit is designed to excite the four arc dipoles. An eight-element li...

This paper represents design methodology of novel phased array antenna and its radiation pattern of 100 elements linear phased array for highly efficient microwave power transmission (MPT) which will be focused on ground based receiving station for microwave power transmission from Space Solar Power Satellite (SSPS) system.

This paper proposes a novel pre-FFT type OFDM adaptive array antenna called “Eigenvector Combining.” The eigenvector combining array antenna is a realization of a post-FFT type OFDM adaptive array antenna through a pre-FFT signal processing, so it can achieve excellent performance with less computational complexity and shorter training symbols. Numerical results demonstrate that the proposed ei...

The purpose of this paper is to introduce the concept of fractals and its use in antenna arrays for obtaining multiband property. One type of fractals namely, Cantor set is investigated. Cantor set is used in linear array antenna design. Therefore, this array know fractal Cantor linear array antenna. A comparison with conventional non-fractal linear array antenna is made regarding the beamwidth...
