Shaped Beam Synthesis of Arrays via Sequential Convex Optimizations

Juan Ramon Mosig, Anja Skrivervik, Benjamin Fuchs

A method to synthesize shaped beams with antenna arrays is presented. Specifically, the element excitations are determined such that the array radiates a power pattern that approximates a desired shape. To efficiently solve this problem, an iterative algor ...

Proof of concept of a dual-band circularly-polarized RF MEMS beam-switching reflectarray

Julien Perruisseau-Carrier, Caner Güçlü

In this communication we propose the concept of a circularly polarized reflectarray (RA) antenna capable of independent beam-switching in both K and Ka bands. The RA unit cell comprises one microstrip ring per each operation frequency. Each ring is integra ...

Hierarchical Beamforming for Large One-Dimensional Wireless Networks

Olivier Lévêque, Alla Merzakreeva

We consider a wireless network with a large number of source-destination pairs distributed over a line. Under line-of-sight propagation, this network has only one degree of freedom for communication. At high SNR, this one degree of freedom can be readily a ...

Beam coordination via diffusion adaptation over array networks

Ali H. Sayed

In this work, we consider a distributed beam coordination problem, where a collection of arrays are interconnected by a certain topology. The beamformers employ an adaptive diffusion strategy to compute the beamforming weight vectors by relying solely on c ...

Spatial Acoustic Signal Processing

Mihailo Kolundzija

A sound field on a line or in a plane has an effectively limited spatial bandwidth determined by the temporal frequency. Similar can be said for sound fields from far-field sources when analyzed on circular and spherical apertures. Namely, for a given freq ...
