Abstract

This paper analyzes the performances of direction finding, interference cancellation, and beamforming performance by array antenna pattern measurement distance between the center of array antenna and reference emitter. Array antenna is widely adopted for example as wireless communications, radar, and sonar. In order to use array antenna, array antenna pattern must be known and it can be measured in anechoic chamber. However, the size of anechoic chamber is generally limited. So measurement error of array antenna can be occurred and this could effect performance decrease of direction finding, interference cancellation, and beamforming. It is verified by computer simulation that the performances of direction finding, interference cancellation, and beamforming by array antenna pattern measurement distance.

본 논문에서는 배열안테나의 패턴을 측정하기 위한 배열안테나와 기준 신호원 사이의 거리에 따른 방향탐지, 간섭제거, 빔형성 성능을 분석한다. 배열안테나는 무선통신, 레이더, 소나 등 다양한 분야에서 사용되고 있다. 이러한 배열안테나를 사용하기 위해서는 배열안테나의 패턴을 알고 있어야 하며, 배열안테나의 패턴은 무반향 챔버에서 측정을 통해 얻을 수 있다. 하지만 무반향 챔버의 크기는 제한적이기 때문에 거리에 따른 측정 오차가 발생하게 된다. 이는 배열안테나를 사용하는 방향탐지, 간섭제거, 빔형성의 성능 저하를 유발시킨다. 본 논문에서는 컴퓨터 모의실험을 통해서 배열안테나 패턴 측정 거리에 따른 방향탐지, 간섭제거, 빔형성 성능을 분석하여 결과를 제시한다.
