In addition to a subsequent complexity reduction of the DOA estimation algorithm (especially that of the MUSIC algorithm), this relieves from the need to use antenna arrays (often circular arrays) ...

Abstract: An elevation and azimuth direction-finding (DF) method is presented by introducing the pattern reconfigurable antenna (PRA) into a two-element array. An equivalent multidimensional array is ...

Optimization techniques can greatly benefit the development of phased-array antennas. This post provides two ... Figure 6 shows the resulting polar pattern in the azimuth plane (left plot) and the ...

Similar to the beamforming concepts we previously described, DOA algorithms are enabled in phased-array applications by leveraging signal reception across multiple antenna ... azimuth and elevation ...

On transmit, this approach could result in more energy in a specific azimuth and/or elevation, depending on the array ... to one antenna element. Figure 1 also shows the magnitude plot of ...
