Array processing involves manipulation of signals induced on various antenna elements. In an adaptive array system, the radiation pattern is formed according to the signal environment by using signal processing techniques. Adaptive arrays improve the capacity of mobile communication systems by placing nulls in the direction of interfering sources and by directing independent beams toward various users. Adaptive beamforming algorithms process signals induced on each array element that are assumed not to be affected by mutual coupling between the elements. The aim of this thesis is to investigate the effects of mutual coupling on the performance of various adaptive beamforming algorithms. The performance parameters such as signal to interference plus noise ratio and speed of convergence of the adaptive algorithms are studied and compared by both neglecting and considering the mutual coupling for the least mean squares, recursive least squares, conjugate gradient and constant modulus algorithms. Finally, it is concluded that the effect of mutual coupling is major in the performance of blind algorithms rather than non-blind algorithms. The results are obtained by simulations carried out on MATLAB.

The effect of antenna position and environment on MIMO channel capacity for a 4 element array mounted on a PDA.
Dumanli, Sema; Tabak, Yasemin; Railton, Chris; Paul, Dominique; Hilton, Geoff (2006-09-12)
The properties of a four element slot antenna array mounted on a PDA for a MIMO system are investigated by means of a Finite Difference Time Domain analysis and a multipath channel model. The effects of changing the positions of the antenna elements on the PDA box and the effect of the box being held in a human hand are investigated.
Design of Irregularly Shaped Patch Antennas by using the Multiport Network Model
Sener, Goker; Alatan, Lale; Kuzuoğlu, Mustafa (2008-07-11)
The multiport network model (MNM) is an analytical method that is used to analyze microstrip antennas. MNM is based on defining ports along the periphery of the patch and evaluating the impedance matrix corresponding to these ports by using the Greenpsilas function for the cavity under the patch. For regular rectangular, triangular and circular patches, analytical expressions for the Greenpsilas function are available. In the analysis of irregular patches, Greenpsilas functions cannot be calculated explicit...
Wideband omnidirectional and sector coverage antenna arrays for base stations
Alatan, Lale (2018-01-01)
By using parallel strip line fed printed dipole antennas as array elements, an omnidirectional antenna array and a wide angle sector coverage array operating in octave band are designed. A maximum deviation of ±1.25 dB from the omnidirectional pattern is achieved for the omnidirectional array, and the average gain of the antenna was measured as being 5 dB in the 1.35–2.7GHz band. For the sector coverage array, a special reflector design is utilized to maintain a half power beam width of around 115◦ with a s...
On the Impact of Fast-Time and Slow-Time Preprocessing Operations on Adaptive Target Detectors
Güvensen, Gökhan Muzaffer; Candan, Çağatay (2018-04-27)
Conventional adaptive detectors assume independent and identically distributed (iid) secondary data vectors which is not contaminated with the target signal. Yet, the input to the adaptive detectors are produced by preprocessing the raw data in fast-time and slow-time dimensions, in general. This paper mainly aims to study the impact of fast-time matched filtering on the adaptive target detectors, namely Kelly's detector, adaptive matched filter (AMF) and adaptive coherence estimator (ACE). It is shown that...
Modified neural multiple source tracking algorithm in the presence of mutual coupling
Caylar, Selcuk; Leblebicioğlu, Mehmet Kemal; Dural, Guelbin (2007-06-15)
In smart antenna systems, mutual coupling between elements can significantly degrade the processing algorithms [1]. In this paper mutual coupling effects on Modified Neural Multiple Source Tracking Algorithm (MN-MUST) has been studied. MN-MUST algorithm applied to the Uniform Circular Array (UCA) geometry for the first time. The validity of MN-MUST algorithm in the presence of mutual coupling has been proved for both Uniform Linear Array (ULA) and UCA. Simulation results of MN-MUST algorithm are provided fo...
