摘要:
The present disclosure obtains a correction value that corrects measurement angle error signals more accurately than conventional methods even in a case where a radio wave signal-to-noise ratio is low, and thus tracks a communication counterpart more accurately than the conventional methods. The present disclosure includes a program controller 28 that generates a command value of an orientation direction of an antenna 1 and outputs the generated command value to an antenna drive controller 27, the command value being changed in accordance with a predetermined change scenario 54; a correction value calculator 32 that calculates a phase correction value γ, based on at least three pieces of error measurement data 55 including (i) an arrival direction error obtained from a sum signal and a difference signal of reception signals, the arrival direction error representing a difference between the orientation direction and an arrival direction being a direction from which the radio waves come and arrive and (ii) an orientation direction actual measurement value being an actual measurement value of the orientation direction when the arrival direction error is obtained, the phase correction value γ being an angle by which the arrival direction error is rotated; and a tracking controller 33 that outputs, to the antenna drive controller 27, as the command value, a value obtained by adding the arrival direction error corrected based on the phase correction value γ to the orientation direction actual measurement value.

Described embodiments provide sidelobe cancellation for Simultaneous Transmit and Receive systems. The sidelobe cancellation system includes an array having a primary aperture and an auxiliary array. The auxiliary array includes a plurality of antenna elements disposed adjacent to at least one side of the primary aperture. Each element of the auxiliary array is coupled to a variable attenuator, a variable phase shifter or a variable true time delay unit. A controller tunes the auxiliary array to cancel sidelobes of the primary aperture by adaptively selecting an attenuation value of the variable attenuator, a phase shift value of the variable phase shifter and a time delay value of the variable true time delay unit for each element of the auxiliary array. The auxiliary array operates as an adaptive finite-impulse response (FIR) filter with each antenna element of the auxiliary array operating as an adaptive tap of the adaptive FIR filter.

摘要:
In location detection of a mobile terminal, a location inquiry signal is transmitted from one or more base stations to the mobile terminal at predetermined intervals. In response to the location inquiry signal, the mobile terminal transmits a location signal including its identification information such as a telephone number. The location signal is received by at least three base stations neighboring to the mobile terminal. The respective distances from that base stations to the mobile terminal are calculated based on the respective field strength values of the location signal received by the base stations, and the location of the mobile terminal is detected based on the calculated distances. More specifically, the location is calculated as an intersection of the respective circles defined by radiuses of the calculated distances from the base stations receiving the location signal.
摘要:
A method for economically producing low sidelobe levels in the far field pattern of an array antenna is disclosed. The current fed to the subarrays is identically tapered to the elements of each subarray. Both the subarray current taper and the element current tapers are optimized to yield the lowest possible sidelobe levels.
摘要:
A signal processor eliminates sidelobe response from signals produced by a spaced antenna array that forms a single beam using spatial frequencies. The signal processor also produces error signals. The signal processor uses a phase coherent local oscillator to simultaneously convert the wavefront signal from each element of the antenna array to three different first intermediate frequency signals IF. The first IF signals of each element are cross-correlated with the first IF signals from each of the other array elements to form the signals containing sampled spatial frequency components IF.sub.2. Cross-correlating a second time using the sampled spatial frequencies as inputs produces signals containing derived spatial frequency components IF.sub.3. The signals containing derived spatial frequency components are synchronously detected (phase compared) and summed to provide a single beam output signal. The summed output signal passes through a linear peak detector biased to the peak of the largest even sidelobe such that only signals within the main beam and above the bias level appear in the final output. The derived spatial frequencies are also phase shifted by 90.degree. and detected signals containing "imaginary" spatial frequency components. The sum of the signals with imaginary components represents an error pattern. Also, summation of the signals with imaginary components for the odd order spatial frequency harmonics produces an error signal approximating a signum function of the angle of incidence of the incoming wavefront.
摘要:
An antenna array includes several antenna elements, each having a microstrip transmission line which includes a strip conductor and a ground plane conductor separated by a dielectric substrate; an antenna portion of the substrate being adapted to enable energy within the substrate to radiate away from the microstrip transmission line. The substrate may have greater capacitance at the antenna portion than other portions of the substrate. The antenna portion is adapted to permit RF energy to the microstrip transmission line to be directionally radiated away from the microstrip transmission line at the antenna portion, the direction of radiation being a function of the frequency of the supplied energy and the antenna slot separation. The individual antenna elements are connected, preferably in pairs, to switching elements, preferably microstrip-type circulators, providing a switchable transmission path from an RF input to a selected antenna element. Each antenna element preferably provides a different radiated beam direction in response to a given input frequency. A desired beam direction can be selected by selecting a corresponding antenna element by means of the switching elements. Thus, by sequentially switching from one antenna to the next, electronic beam scanning can be accomplished without changing the frequency of the RF input.
