Abstract:

Based on Butler Matrix, a novel simple-structured hybrid smart antenna system applicable in Ad Hoc network terminals is designed. A super-resolution beamforming algorithm is also presented by combining with the direction of arrival (DOA) estimation algorithm of digital signal processing (DSP). By this algorithm, it is deduced the shift value formula of the variable phase shifter when the antenna array switches to the direction of the desired signal. Simulation results show that the system facilitates the implementation by use of the simple system structure and easy beamforming feature. And it can drive the antenna to follow the input signal, which can greatly improve the signal quality and suppress the electromagnetic interference..
