Abstract
In the present paper convergence characteristics of blind beam-forming algorithm Least Square Constant Modulus Algorithm (LSCMA) are analyzed. This algorithm is used with Smart antenna systems (SAS) for improving the performance of wireless communication system by optimizing the radiation pattern according to the signal environment. This can increase the coverage and capacity of a system in multipath channels by overcoming the interference and noise. The data rate can be enhanced by mitigating fading due to cancellation of multipath components. In this paper optimization capabilities of LSCMA are considered by changing of parameters. The results reveal improvement in gain and reduction in side-lobe level. The reference signal is basically a training sequence used to train the adaptive antenna array or a desired signal based upon an a priori knowledge of nature of the arriving signals. In case where a reference signal is not available one must opt to a group of optimization techniques that are blind to the exact content of the incoming signals. In this paper the comparison of optimization capabilities of LSCMA blind adaptive BFA with reference to number of antenna elements and their spacing is presented. Section II presents functioning of ABFA and the mathematical description of LSCMA. In section III simulation results using MATLAB 7.0 with reference to number of antenna elements, inter-element distance and angle of arrival (AOA) are obtained to find the optimized values. The array factor plots and LSCMA output for the same values of above parameters are presented.
