Title: Smart
Antenna Systems; DOA estimation and Beamforming
Presenter: Dr. Nuri
Yilmazer
Abstract:
Wireless communication
technology and its applications have been rapidly growing and becoming a vital
part of our daily life more and more each day. The number of users is
increasing, but the available resources are scarce. Spatial domain
techniques have risen as a new venue to increase the number of users as
well as to increase the estimation accuracy in wireless communication
systems. This performance increment can be achieved through antenna
arrays which are equipped with signal processing capabilities where the
antenna beampattern can be directed in any
intended direction.
Smart antenna systems deal
with direction of arrival estimation (DOA) and beamforming
techniques. Most beamforming techniques assume
the prior knowledge of the DOA of the signals coming to the array.
Furthermore, performance of the beamforming
techniques relies on the accurate estimation of the complex antenna
weights which are used to form the radiation pattern of the antenna
array. In the presentation, different approaches to determine these
antenna weights will be discussed. Additionally, an efficient DOA
estimation method will be introduced for real-time applications.
Message From the Vice-Chair:
Dear IEEE Corpus Christi Section Members,
Thank you again for voting in the section and runoff elections. We are
currently
lining up speakers for the rest of the year. Due to schedule conflicts a
couple
speakers are being moved to Fall dates. This month however, please join
us for
what promises to be avery interesting
presentation by Dr. Yilmazer.
If you have any ideas for future meetings or would like to volunteer,
please let
one of the board members know. I look forward to seeing you at the
meeting.
Lifford McLauchlan
2012 IEEE Corpus Christi Section Vice Chair
