Abstract:

A multi-antenna spectrum sensing technique based on cyclostationary characters was proposed to improve the sensing performance in cognitive radio. After estimating the channel frequency response from the spectral correlation function (SCF) of each antenna, the new method combines the multiple antenna signals in frequency domain to detect the spectrum of combined signal. The closed-form expression for the signal noise ratio (SNR) of combined signal’s SCF and simulation results show that the technique is capable of achieving full spatial diversity in spectrum sensing.

Key words: cognitive radio, spectrum sensing, spatial diversity, cyclostationarity
