Active and Passive Array
• Active – active element like oscillator connected to the path of radiator
• Classified as receiving, transmitting and tranceiving antenna
• Radiated power increased• Thermal loss decreased• Reliability increased• Use transmit/receive (T/R) module

• Passive – has central transmitter and receiver • Phase shifter located at each radiating
element• All elements excited by common oscillator or
connected to common receiver• Feed network is the main part connecting
elements

Linear Array
• Consists of group of identical elements• Elements placed in 1-D• Elements placed in specified direction in a
straight line• Spacing between element may be equal or not• Used in analysis of directional properties of
arrays• Building blocks for forming array of elements
11
Linear Array
• Design of antenna is practical and simpler• Easy fabrication• Individual elements may be wire dipoles,
loops apertures or any other type• Total field = vector superposition of field
radiated by individual elements• AFn(normalized) = 1/n[sin(nψ/2) / sin(ψ/2)]
where Afn is the normalized array factor.

Linear Array
13
Planar Array
• All elements in a single plane• Elements occupy a definite area• Configurations – rectangular, triangular, square,
hexagonal.• Provides large aperture• Used in directional beam control by varying
relative phase of each element• Each radiating element has its own phase
shifter
14
Planar Array
• The elements are in the form of matrix• It is two dimensional• Beam steering in two planes is possible• Digital beamforming can be done• Arrangement of elements is complicated• More electronically controlled phase shifters
are required• Cost is more
15
Planar Array
16
Cylindrical Array
• Radiators positioned on a cylindrical surface• Radiators used – wire and slot dipoles, open
ended waveguides and horns, spiral and dielectric rod antennas
• Selection of radiator depends on wavelength and required bandwidth
• Narrow bandwidth – 10000 elements• Used where azimuthal scanning with constant
beam shape and gain is required
17
Cylindrical Array
18
Conical Array
• Radiators positioned on a conical surface• Wavelength less than 0.5λ should be used for
the array element spacing• To use radiators efficiently – beam axis
pointed to the required direction to have maximum gain
• Narrow bandwidth – around 10000 elements• Maintains high gain and EIRP in forward
hemisphere
19
Conical Array

Digital Array
• Is a phased array• Signal is converted into digital code• Further processing, formation of antenna
pattern and signal processing performed in a digital computer
• The computer performs digital beamforming• Instantaneous shaping of array pattern in any
direction
21
Digital Array
• Can generate adaptive array patterns of arbitrary shape
• Error is minimized• Complex hardware and software• Fast and efficient algorithms required to
reduce complexity

Multibeam Array
• Supports generation of several beams• Multibeam feed is used for above• Beams are used for surveillance of a sector• Each beam has a separate input channel• Uses multiple beam forming network• This network has quadrature directional
couplers and fixed phase shifters
24
Multibeam Array
• Provide high quality of service• SDMA is used to design the antenna• SDMA provides high user capacity in a limited
frequency spectrum• Used in radar applications, satellite
communication and mobile communication• Interference is minimized
25
Multibeam Array
26
Multi-faced Array
• System of planar arrays• Arrays arranged in a form of a regular
polyhedron• Performance increases as the coverage range
becomes wider• No clear improvement gained by using more
than 10 faces
27
Multi-faced Array
28
Multifrequency Array
• Operates over several frequency bands• Can be formed by many techniques• By using convex multifrequency arrays with
distributed multifrequency radiators positioned on convex, curvilinear surfaces
• By using multifrequency or wideband radiators and frequency separation filters
• By the merging of one array into another
29
Adaptive Array
• Consists of N element array• Appropriate choice of weighting coefficients• Weights placed between antenna elements
and a combining network• Weight should be capable of changing the
amplitude and phase of received signal from each element
30
Adaptive Array
31
Adaptive Array
• Interference can be reduced by:• Maximization of SINR at output of array• Minimum mean square deviation of received
signal from a reference level at output of array• Minimum interference power at array output• Maximum probability of detection of the
desired target signal
32
Advantages of Array Antennas
• Increase in the overall gain • Provides diversity reception• Cancels out interference from a particular set
of directions• Steer the array such that it is more sensitive in
a particular direction• Used to determine the direction of arrival of
incoming signal
33
Advantages of Array Antennas
• To maximize the signal to interference noise ratio (SINR)
• Provide high array gain by using simple antenna elements
• Provide a diversity gain in multipath signal reception

spectral efficiency in mobile systems• Digital beamforming antennas (DBF) are
developing as advanced phase array antennas

Adaptive Array and LMS Algorithm
• LMS (Least Mean Square) error algorithm is used to cancel interference
• It was developed by Widrow et al• Further work was done by Frost and Griffiths• They worked to ensure that the desired signals
were not filtered out along with the unwanted signals
• LMS algorithm uses continuous adaptation
37
Adaptive Array and LMS Algorithm
• Interference rejection achieved by optimally determining the array weights
• The LMS algorithm takes advantage of the following two points:
• The MSE when plotted against the filter coefficients is a quadratic, bowl-shaped one with a unique minimum
• The gradient of a function always points towards the maximum of the function

Adaptive Array and LMS Algorithm
• In the Steepest Descent Optimization method, the weight vector is made to “evolve” in the direction of the negative gradient
• Disadvantage - complex computation involved in finding the values of the r and R matrices
• R - auto correlation matrix of received signal• r – cross correlation vector between the
desired signal and the received signal
41
Adaptive Array and LMS Algorithm
• LMS algorithm - simplification of the Method of Steepest Descent
• Instantaneous values of R and r are used instead of their actual values
• Simple expression for weight adaptation
42
LMS Algorithm Steps
43
LMS Algorithm Steps
• We assume that the signals involved are real-valued
• The LMS algorithm changes (adapts) the filter tap weights so that e(n) is minimized in the mean-square sense
• LMS algorithm is simplified form of steepest descent algorithm and replaces the cost function by its instantaneous coarse estimate
44
LMS Algorithm Steps
• E{e2[n]} changes to e2[n]• e2[n]is the mean square error between the
beam-former output y(n) and the reference signal
• Substituting the above value in the steepest descent recursion, we obtain w[n + 1] = w[n] -μ[ {e▼ 2[n]}]
• µ is the step-size parameter and controls the convergence characteristics of the LMS algorithm
45
LMS Algorithm Steps
• Now {e▼ 2[n]} = -2e(n)x(n)• Finally we get the LMS recursive function as:
w[n + 1] = w[n] + 2μx[n]e[n]• Therefore the summary can be given as:• Weight vector : w[n]• Input vector : x[n]• Desired output : d[n]• Filter output : y[n]
46
LMS Algorithm Steps
• Weight vector updated : w[n+1]• Output : y[n] = wt[n]x[n]• Error : e [n] = d[n] − y[n]• Weight : w[n + 1] = w[n] + 2μx[n]e[n]• LMS is simple in implementation• Stable and robust performance against
different signal conditions
