Limits of compensation in a failed antenna array

In large antenna arrays, the possibility of occurrence of faults in some of the radiating elements cannot be precluded at all times. In such situations, the radiation pattern of the array gets distorted, mostly with an increase in sidelobe level and decrease in gain. Although it is not possible to restore the pattern fully by rearranging the excitations of the functioning elements, compensation methods have been reported in the literature for restoring one performance parameter of the array and making a trade‐off on some other parameter. In this article, we have made a study on the tolerance level of this compensation process. One part of the study deals with the thinning in the failed array, that is, to find a limit on the minimum number of functioning elements of the array that can restore the digital beamforming of the failed array. The second part of study deals with finding the maximum number of element failures that can be compensated. The study was carried out by optimizing the amplitude excitations of the failed array. Instead of classical optimization techniques, particle swarm optimization was used for the compensation process. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J RF and Microwave CAE 24:635–645, 2014.     

Design of a broadband dielectric resonator antenna and its application in low sensitivity frequency beam‐scanning array with wide scanning angle and suppressed sidelobes

In this paper, a broadband dielectric resonator antenna (DRA) with a simple H‐slot feeding structure is proposed. The broad bandwidth (~45%) and uni‐directional radiation enable this DRA suitable to work as a radiation element in the construction of a beam‐scanning array with not only low frequency sensitivity which is important for accurate angle estimation of in‐coming targets, but also a wide scanning range. Moreover, stable coupling coefficients are established around all the above three resonances with respect to its corresponding feeding line, ensuring a low sidelobe level (SLL) across the whole operating frequency range. In order to realize such a DRA, a latticed rectangular structure is utilized to generate the lower two resonances, while the upper resonance is generated by its H‐shaped feeding slot. The shape of the latticed dielectric resonator is also modified according to a 3‐D printed fixing structure for an accurate installation. A 20‐element beam‐scanning prototype is demonstrated and manufactured. The range of scanning angle is from ?36° to +13° within the bandwidth of 10 to 16 GHz, corresponding to a frequency sensitivity of only 122.5 MHz/^o. The achieved SLL are smaller than 19 dB for all scanning beams. The above performance indicates that, this array is very suitable for near‐range radar systems requiring an accurate angle estimation.     

基于Kalman滤波的GSC改进语音增强算法

针对广义旁瓣相消器（Generalized sidelobe canceller,GSC）存在非相干噪声消除性能不佳的缺陷,提出了采用后置Kalman滤波器改进的GSC去噪算法。该算法通过归一化最小均方算法校正自适应噪声对消器,并将滤除方向性干扰噪声后的语音信号输出到Kalman滤波器中,对残余背景噪声进行迭代最小均方误差（Minimum mean square error,MMSE）估计,抑制非相干噪声与麦克风阵元所产生的热噪声。经过在不同信噪比条件下客观语音质量评估（Perceptual evaluation of speech quality,PESQ）及语谱图分析后证明,与传统的GSC以及后置谱减法的改进GSC相比,本算法在噪声消除上的表现更为优越,且增强后信号也更接近目标信号。

Adaptive iteration Fourier technique applied for antenna arrays pattern synthesis

Based on the existing method of iterative Fourier transforms, an adaptive iteration Fourier technique (AIFT) is proposed for antenna arrays synthesis. Compared with the initial method, three different aspects exist in AIFT. Firstly, the method could adaptively compute the peak sidelobe threshold(PST) in order to obtain the optimum distribution of element excitations satisfying the objective parameter. Secondly, un-uniform element excitations are employed to meet the requirement of sidelobe reduction. Thirdly, when the antenna arrays were massively truncated, the method could lower the beamwidth of their far field patterns by adaptively modulating the value of array factors that are located in the edge region of mainlobes so that the beam broadening caused by the initial method could be efficiently avoided. Simulation results for different design requirements show the effectiveness and high efficiency of the proposed method.

在噪声雷达中,传统相关处理方法的距离旁瓣受到时宽带宽积的限制,在有限相关处理时间内得到的距离旁瓣较高,会造成微弱目标被强目标、杂波旁瓣淹没的现象。提出一种基于抽取最小均方（Least Mean Square,LMS）滤波的噪声雷达旁瓣抑制方法,将LMS滤波器的系数作为距离压缩结果,从而获取较低的距离旁瓣。对该方法的性能进行了理论分析,并通过数字仿真验证了算法的有效性和理论分析的正确性。
