Concurrently, technological developments are making new applications possible, opening up new markets, and promising significant economic benefits. In all cases, spectrum is an essential basic resource which, although reusable, cannot be created to meet demand. It is, therefore, increasingly important to improve the efficiency with which use is made of the spectrum. As an example, the next generation mobile telephone system may require an order of magnitude increase in capacity. Since present day systems are close to the Shannon limit, there is relatively little to be gained by improving the modulation and coding schemes, and smart antennas have been identified as one technique that may close the predicted performance gap. A smart antenna is one that responds in some way to its electromagnetic environment in order to improve a specified performance metric; in so-doing, they can provide, for example, increased immunity to interference, or reduced signal level towards a vulnerable receiver. In general, provision of these capabilities requires the use of multi-element array antennas, with control over the excitation of each element. Smart antennas are not new in concept, yet, with a number of notable exceptions, they have not seen widespread adoption. This project, which was awarded as part of the Ofcom Spectrum Efficiency Scheme, set out to investigate smart antennas and their potential application areas, in an attempt to understand the reasons why they have not been implemented widely. Possible reasons for this may be that their forecast benefits are unobtainable, that the technology for their implementation is not mature, or that they cannot currently be implemented economically. These lead to the overall objectives of the project, namely, to assess and demonstrate the potential of smart antennas for enhancing spectrum efficiency in wireless systems. To meet these aims a work programme was developed, which drew on the skills of a number of organisations, namely, Vector Fields Limited, Quotient Associates, Plextek Limited, Loughborough University, and European Antennas Limited. 5 Smart Antenna Technology CUL/EM/030854/RP/06 Final Report (Issue 2) Work programme The activities undertaken during this project divide into four main areas: Application review The first element of the work, which is described in Section 2 of the main report, considers the types of smart antenna available and the applications that are most suitable for their adoption. In addition, it must be remembered that the use of the spectrum sits within a regulatory framework. How this may affect the use of smart antennas, and whether their amendment may assist more widespread adoption of smart antennas is preliminarily considered in advance of the other activities. Technology review Section 3 details a review of the technology available for the implementation of smart antennas, the main sub-systems of which are the radiating structure and the beam forming network. Both areas are considered to determine the options presently available and possible future developments. Technology development The technology review was expected to highlight areas where more novel, less mature techniques could benefit the performance of a smart antenna system. Provision was made within the programme to select and develop such a technique; the results of this are discussed in Section 4. Performance benefits analysis The assessment of the benefits brought by smart antennas is an essential part of the programme. From the outset, it was intended to perform a hardware demonstration of a smart antenna operating in a wireless system. An analysis of a wider area wireless system has also been performed, in this case by simulation rather than by hardware demonstration. The selected system, namely broadband wireless access (BWA), was chosen during the programme following the consideration of the most likely smart antenna applications. The details of the simulation and hardware demonstration are given in Section 5 of the main report. The results of the above activities allow us to form a view on why smart antennas have not achieved widespread adoption. This is addressed in Section 6 of the main report. The remainder of this Executive Summary describes the work performed and the findings from the above activities, and concludes with a discussion of adoption issues. 6 Smart Antenna Technology CUL/EM/030854/RP/06 Final Report (Issue 2) Summary of activities The work performed under each of the activities is summarized briefly below, and the principal findings highlighted. Applications As a precursor to considering potential applications, the various types of smart antenna were reviewed. It was found to be useful to classify them broadly as operating in “beam space” or “signal space”. The former uses knowledge of the geometry of the antenna, combined with an ability to vary the excitation of each antenna element, to steer and shape the radiation pattern (ie the beam). The latter uses knowledge of the structure of parts of the received signals, and adjusts the antenna element weights to minimize the difference between the combined signal at the output and the known (or training) sequence. Basic implementations of these require relatively little integration with the receive chain or the link protocol, and are often suitable for overlaying on the system as an appliqué layer. More sophisticated implementations combine one or other of these with processing in the time domain (ie space-time processing and detection) in order to incorporate signal components that have been temporally dispersed. While these offer improved performance, they are correspondingly more demanding on the signal processing hardware. Figure E1 shows how these techniques may be viewed in relation to their complexity, level of integration and to the characteristics of the propagation environment. “Signalspace” “Space-time “Space-time Processing” Detection” Diversity combining Space-time Single channel equalisation Simple MIMO equalisation on e.g. Advanced MIMO si sper di el ann e “Beamspace” Ch Fixed beam switching ons Wideband adaptive p Narrowband adaptive beam-forming spatial beam-forming a res Temporally spread Uplink only (HSR) signal beam-forming SFIR e antenn abl SDMA t c edi Pr Integration with protocol / receive chain Complexity & performance Figure E1: Main smart antenna methods and primary constraints for their application A distinction is made between those “smart” systems that achieve improved performance using diversity methods, for example diversity combining and MIMO, and those that adapt weighted excitations to the elements of the antenna to optimise its pattern performance. Simple diversity systems are used widely, and the incorporation of MIMO techniques is rising rapidly, albeit in advance of a formal specification. This project hence concentrated on the weight adaptation techniques, which are further from widespread adoption, but which may offer additional or complementary benefits to the diversity methods. 7 Smart Antenna Technology CUL/EM/030854/RP/06 Final Report (Issue 2) A wide range of possible wireless applications that have high economic value to the UK have been considered as candidates for the early adoption of smart antennas. These include mobile and broadcast communications, wireless local area networks (WLAN) and broadband wireless access (BWA). In some cases, smart antennas based on various techniques are already available commercially, or have

Newhall Keywords: Propagation Measurement, Channel Modeling, Vector Channels, Smart Antenna, Software Radio, Multipath, Wireless Communications. Radio Channel Measurements and Modeling for Smart Antenna Array Systems Using a Software Radio Receiver William G. Newhall Abstract This dissertation presents research performed in the areas of radio wave propagation measurement and modeling, smart antenna arrays, and software-defined radio development. A four-channel, wideband, software-defined receiver was developed to serve as a test bed for wideband measurements and antenna array experiments. This receiver was used to perform vector channel measurements in terrestrial and air-to-ground environments using an antenna array. Measurement results served as input to radio channel simulations based on three geometric channel models. The simulation results were compared to measurement results to evaluate the performance of the radio channel models under test. Criteria for evaluation include RMS delay spread, excess delay spread, signal envelope fading, antenna diversity gain, and gain achieved through the use of a two-dimensional rake receiver. This research makes contributions to the wireless communications field through analysis, development, measurement, and simulation that builds upon past theoretical and experimental results. Contributions include a software-defined radio architecture, based on object oriented techniques, that has been developed and successfully demonstrated using the wideband receiver.

If the antenna does not change the position for the specified angle, then the signal loss will be very high. By considering the aforesaid drawback, here a new genetic algorithm based technique for beam forming in smart antenna system is proposed. In the proposed technique, if the angle is given as input, the maximum signal gain in the beam pattern of the antenna with corresponding position and phase angle is obtained as output. The length of the beam, interference, phase angle, and the number of patterns are the factors that are considered in our proposed technique. By using this technique, the gain of the system gets increased as well as the interference is reduced considerably. The implementation result exhibits the efficiency of the system in beam forming.

Dandekar VTT Technical Research Centre of Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Finland Drexel University Email: {Henna.Paaso,Aarne.Mammela}@vtt.fi Philadelphia, PA, USA Email: {damiano.patron,dandekar}@drexel.edu Abstract—In this paper, we formulate and experimentally demonstrate direction of arrival (DoA) estimation with a two-port composite right/left handed (CRLH) leaky-wave antenna (LWA) using the multiple signal classification (MUSIC) algorithm. The CRLH LWA consists of a cascade of metamaterial unit cells, periodically modulated using varactor diodes. By changing the voltages across series and shunt varactors, the antenna is able to uniformly steer its radiation pattern. The proposed modified MUSIC algorithm, uses both antenna’s input ports to estimate the DoA. Conventionally, the MUSIC algorithm needs to calculate the correlation matrix from the output vector of an array of antenna elements. In this work, we show in detail how the correlation matrix can be computed when using leaky-wave antennas. The algorithm is demonstrated using LWA in an anechoic chamber and the estimated DoA results are in good agreement with the predicted angles. Fig. 1. System model. I. INTRODUCTION Direction of arrival estimation using compact antenna arrays be significantly improved over previous methods. In this paper are of great importance to future cognitive radio systems. we focus on the MUSIC algorithm, showing how it can be The spectrum reuse and sensing performance can be greatly used with a metamaterial LWA instead of conventional antenna improved by using spatial dimension with the help of reconfig- arrays.

Read Full License 1 Design Analysis of Adaptive Beamforming in a MIMO-millimeter Wave 5G Heterogeneous Wireless Network using Machine Learning Models Sanjeev Chopra ECED, T.I.E.T., Punjab. [email protected] Abstract Beamforming (BF) is a smart antenna technique to provide a summation of the weighted signal over multi-users to produce the more concentrated transmitted signal from massive MIMO antenna arrays deployed in a Millimeter-Wave (mm- Wave) 5G heterogeneous wireless network. It adjusts the amplitudes and phases of the signals received over different antennas in an optimum manner in the form of directional radiation. This paper will help in the installation of 5G and 6G mm- Wave heterogeneous wireless networks. Here, adaptive BF is designed and being implemented on the Machine Learning (ML) platform using Signal-to-Noise- Interference Ratio (SINR). The four ML methods having six BF properties to estimate the SINR of Multiple-Input-Multiple-Output (MIMO) - mm-Wave 5G wireless network are explored. The proposed algorithm suppresses noise plus interference and can reduce the power consumption.
