I. INTRODUCTION Fig 1. Sensors Array 1) Array Processing: Signal processing is one of There are four assumptions in array processing. The the most important research fields that affect first assumption is that there is uniform propagation every aspect of our lives. Signal processing is a in all directions of isotropic and non-dispersive wide area of research that extends from the medium. The second assumption is that for far field simplest form of 1-D signal processing to the array processing, the radius of propagation is much complex form of M-D and array signal greater than size of the array and that there is plane processing. This article presents a short survey of wave propagation. The third assumption is that there the concepts, principles and applications of is a zero mean white noise and signal, which shows Array Processing. Array structure can be defined uncorrelation. Finally, the last assumption is that as a set of sensors that are spatially separated, there is no coupling and the calibration is perfect. e.g. antennas.

APPLICATIONS Communications (wireless) Communication can be defined as the process of The ultimate goal of sensor array signal processing is exchanging of information between two or more to estimate the values of parameters by using parties. The last two decades witnessed a rapid available temporal and spatial information, collected growth of wireless communication systems. This through sampling a wavefield with a set of antennas success is a result of advances in communication that have a precise geometry description. The theory and low power dissipation design process. In processing of the captured data and information is general, communication (telecommunication) can be done under the assumption that the wavefield is done by technological means through either electrical generated by a finite number of signal sources signals (wired communication) or electromagnetic (emitters), and contains information about signal waves (wireless communication). Antenna arrays parameters characterizing and describing the sources. have emerged as a support technology to increase the There are many applications related to the above usage efficiency of spectral and enhance the accuracy problem formulation, where the number of sources, of wireless communication systems by utilizing their directions and locations should be specified. To spatial dimension in addition to the classical time and motivate the reader, some of the most important frequency dimensions. Array processing and applications related to array processing will be estimation techniques have been used in wireless discussed. communication. Radar and Sonar Systems: array processing concept was closely linked to radar and sonar systems which represent the classical applications of array processing. The antenna array is used in these systems to determine location(s) of source(s), cancel interference, suppress ground clutter. Radar Systems used basically to detect objects by using radio waves. The range, altitude, speed and direction of objects can be specified. Radar systems started as military equipments then entered the civilian world. In radar applications, different modes can be used, one of these modes is the active Fig 3. Multi-Path Communication Problem in mode. In this mode the antenna array based system wireless communication Systems radiates pulses and listens for the returns. By using Medical applications the returns, the estimation of parameters such as Array processing techniques got on much attention velocity, range and DOAs (direction of arrival) of from medical and industrial applications. In medical target of interest become possible. Using the passive applications, the medical image processing field was far-field listening arrays, only the DOAs can be one of the basic fields that use array processing. estimated. Sonar Systems (Sound Navigation and Other medical applications that use array processing: Ranging) use the sound waves that propagate under diseases treatment, tracking waveforms that have the water to detect objects on or under the water information about the condition of internal organs e.g. the heart, localizing and analyzing brain activity by using bio-magnetic sensor arrays. Array Processing for Speech Enhancement Speech enhancement and processing represents another field that has been affected by the new era of array processing. Most of the acoustic front end surface. systems became fully automatic systems (e.g. Fig 2.Radarsystem telephones). However, the operational environment of these systems contains a mix of other acoustic IJIRT 100490 INTERNATONAL JOURNAL OF INNOVATIVE RESEARCH IN TECHNOLOGY 7 © 2014 IJIRT | Volume 1 Issue 6 | ISSN : 2349-6002 sources; external noises as well as acoustic couplings III.
