For the element position synthesis of 2-dimension sparse rectangular arrays with the design constraints of the number of elements, the aperture and the minimum element spacing, an improved genetic algorithm (IGA) based on chromosome element resetting is presented in this paper. Compared with the synthesis method of thinned arrays, this new approach could exploit more degree of freedom of elements to control the characters of the sparse arrays. When the aperture, the number of elements and the minimum element spacing are fixed identical, the new approach can make the sparse plane array produce lower peak sidelobe level (PSLL). The simulated results show that the fitness function value of thinned plane arrays with 108 elements mentioned by Haupt can reduce 5.626dB when the minimum element spacing of half wavelength was introduced into the optimization. And as well, the great efficiency and the robustness of IGA are shown in this paper.

In this paper the working principle of the human eye is studied since uses very simple detectors, cones and rods, to provide an impressive high angular resolution without using any kind of scanning technique. Usually the resolution capability of the human eyes has been attributed to the complexity of the brain, but it is quite difficult to understand that something, specially small details, that it has not been seen by the eyes could be generated by the brain. Finally, it will be proved that with the actual technology and design philosophy of array antenna systems, the maximum achievable angular resolution of a realistic antenna array system is seriously limited and it is equivalent to the one that it could have an insect with compound eyes. It is clear the human eye is able to overcome this limit, and the idea is to learn how to introduce this to the design procedure of antenna array systems.

For low frequency observations (< 300 MHz) the radio astronomical community is currently developing a number of new instruments such as the low frequency array (LOFAR), the Mileura wide field array (MWA) and the primeval structure telescope (PaST). These telescopes require new calibration algorithms since phased arrays require an all-sky approach to imaging and calibration. This implies that the calibration will generally have to deal with a multitude of sources. In this paper we will discuss a muldsource calibration method to estimate the gains and phases of the receiving elements without having to solve for the receiver noise powers at the same time. Our method is able to handle arbitrary known source models. We will show that the proposed algorithm is asymptotically efficient by comparing the results from Monte Carlo simulations with the Craimer-Rao bound for the underlying data model.

In this paper we focus on the energy detector for decision fusion in wireless sensor networks over multiple access channels. More specifically, we derive analytical performance in terms of global probability of false alarm and detection (including asymptotic performance for large number of sensors) when the fading is a Ricean mixture, i.e. channel coefficients are sampled from a Gaussian mixture (GM) distribution. The motivation for the GM is the ability to model real-world scenarios while keeping mathematical tractability. Analytical results are confirmed through numerical simulations.

On small platforms, angle-of-arrival (AOA) estimation of an E-M signal can be accomplished with colocated antennas measuring multiple components of the propagating wave. An electrically small Vector sensor (VS) Antenna constructed above and below the wing of a small UAV measures three components of the propagating wave. Determining the AOA involves fitting known "calibration" AOAs and corresponding antenna response to a modeled response. The least-squares calibration approach described here determines the azimuth and elevation AOAs for sources located at typical elevation angles to within a few degrees, agreeing with the Cramer-Rao Lower Bound (CRLB). These results justify the use of small VS antennas to do direction finding (DF) in high SNR environments.

In mobile communication, mutual coupling between array elements will affect the estimation performance of the existing direction of arrival (DOA) estimators. To tackle this problem, an accurate DOA estimation method for coprime array is developed, where the effect of mutual coupling is eliminated by the banded complex symmetric Toeplitz matrix, and further weakened via two-dimensional (2-D) interpolation. The accuracy of the proposed algorithm is verified by the simulation results in comparison of several DOA estimation approaches as well as Cramer-Rao lower bound (CRLB).

By taking the third-order statistical information of processes into account, the bispectrum is a useful tool in digital signalprocessing and statistics. The paper proposes a nonparametric approach of estimating the bispectrum, using tapers designed to achieve maximal bifrequency concentration. Bispectra are functions of two frequencies plus their sum, so the optimum tapers are not products of Slepian sequences. The new tapers minintize the sixth-moment "energy" leakage in the estimate, and thus the new multiple window bispectrum estimator (MWBE) can be interpreted as minimizing the broad-band bias. Alternatively, the MWBE can be viewed as a solution of an integral inverse problem using an eigenfunction expansion. This approach can be extended to estimate higher-order polyspectra. Numerical simulations use moving average (MA) data with non-Gaussian white driving noise. Simulation results with small sample sizes show that this new MWBE is feasible and mean-squared error (MSE) optimal.

Capacity analysis of sensor networks or wireless ad hoc networks has attracted a great attention in the past years. But the research in this area has primarily focused on scaling laws of arbitrary or random network instead of the exact capacity of given topologies. While the insight into how the capacity of an arbitrary or random network scales with the number of nodes in a given area is important, the exact capacity of a network depends on the network topology and can be more desirable in practice. In this paper, we compare the throughput of a large network with three possible topologies: square (rectangular), hexagonal and triangular. With a given topology, the network throughput also depends on the choice of routing protocols. We follow a synchronous array method (SAM) that is known so far to yield the highest throughout of a network on a rectangular grid.

A novel target detection algorithm for large array multi-input multi-output (MIMO) radar in spatially correlated noise is proposed in this paper using canonical correlation technique (CCT). In the signal model, two separate sub-arrays are employed as the receive array of a transmit diversity MIMO radar system. Assume that the elementary noise in each sub-array has spatial correlation, and the number of receive elements is large and grows as the same rate with the snapshots. The detection statistics is constructed based on the generalized likelihood ratio test (GLRT) criterion and the sample canonical correlation coefficient between the two sub-arrays. The expression of decision threshold is derived via the Tracy-Widom distribution of order 2 in random matrix theory. The simulation results show that the detection performance of the proposed algorithm is better than that of the conventional condition number (CN)-based algorithm in the presence of spatially correlated noise and large array.

The 2-D angular resolution limit for array radar with ultrawideband (UWB) stochastic signals based on the statistical resolution theory is presented in this paper. The signal model of monostatic array radar with circular array configuration and UWB stochastic signals is established, while the resolution of two closely spaced targets is modelled as a binary hypothesis test. The statistical angular resolution limit (SARL) for array radar with UWB stochastic signals is derived based on the generalized likelihood ratio test (GLRT) with given probabilities of false alarm and detection. The effects of detection parameters, transmit waveforms, array geometry, signal-to-noise ratio and parameters of target on SARL are analysed. Compared with the conventional resolution defined by ambiguity function, the SARL reflects the practical resolution ability of radar and can provide an optimization criterion for radar system design.
