Abstract
ABSTRACTThis paper presents practical design of a smart antenna system based on direction‐of‐arrival estimation and Dolph–Chebyshev beam forming. Direction‐of‐arrival estimation is based on the multiple signal classification algorithm for identifying the directions of the source signals incident on the sensor array comprising the smart antenna system. The smart antenna system design involves a hardware part, which provides real data measurements of the incident signals received by the sensor array. This paper presents the Dolph–Chebyshev method for the synthesis and design of antenna arrays with periodic element spacing. A Field‐Programmable Gate Array implementation is presented for an antenna array application employing digital beamforming. The array comprises 10 elements, equal in number receiving radio frequency and intermediate frequency components, as well as a Spartan‐3E Field‐Programmable Gate Array‐based unit, which is responsible for the control of the array. Low‐cost and switched‐beam, and fully adaptive antenna array suitable for 2‐GHz applications are proposed in this paper. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
