Hierarchical Networks Technology and Simulation of An Adaptive Beamforming Antenna

Abstract

This paper focuses on designing and simulation of an adaptive beamforming antenna technology. This was done to ensure that the transmitted signals are beamed in a specified direction for better signal reception in the desired of specified desired stations because the problems of the weak signal emancipate if the antenna is not pointed in the right direction leading to scattering of the signals. This is to say that a beamformoing antenna radiate or receives a greater power in a specified directions allowing for increased performance and reduced interference from an unwanted sources. In order to achieve our aim, a pictorial system design of the antenna was set showing and stating the basic parameters of the systems, the transmitter, channel module, receiver module, display and control module. A practical Simulink software model without and with adaptive beamforming antenna systems were developed, tested, compared and implemented as shown in figure 1 and figure 2 respectively. Simulink model was chosen primarily for its collection of several applications specific blocks that supports different design discipline and specifically for this paper.
