Abstract

This paper proposes a single circular radiator with a multi-port (SRMP) antenna that can estimate the direction-of-arrival (DoA) in the azimuth and elevation directions. The proposed SRMP antenna is designed to minimize the size of the ultra-wideband system by using only one patch radiator. To verify the feasibility, the proposed antenna is fabricated, and the reflection coefficient and boresight gain are measured (-13.3 dB and 3.4 dBi at 8 GHz). Then, to observe the direction-finding performance, the DoA estimation results using the Bartlett beamformer are compared with the typical array. At all incident angles, a root-mean-square error of less than 1° is observed when the signal-to-noise ratio is higher than 6 dB.
