The super-high-frequency band is used in the fifth-generation (5G) mobile communication system, and the introduction of massive multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) to 5G is being considered. In an environment with substantial propagation loss, such as that in the case of millimeter waves, massive MIMO can realize beamforming according to the position of terminal stations. Therefore, it is important to understand the direction of arrival of millimeter waves. In this letter, we clarify the relationship between power, delay time, and direction of arrival while focusing on the horizontal direction, using a 48-element massive array in the 20 GHz band in urban Japan. In addition, we obtain direction-of-arrival (DoA) estimation results using an iterative reduction threshold algorithm (ISTA), which is based on compressed sensing. It is shown that the dominant path can be estimated by using the ISTA even with approximately five elements.

A least squares algorithm for two-dimensional (2-D) angle estimation of a single narrowband source impinging on a uniform circular array (UCA) is presented. Utilizing the centrosymmetric array configuration, a new correlation-based method is devised to obtain closed-form estimates of the azimuth and elevation angles. Although the proposed method is computationally simpler than the conventional schemes, computer simulations show that it can approach optimum estimation performance.

A new approach of imaging an object profile from the scattered wavefield, which is measured using a large (far field approximation) circular array of sensors surrounding the object, is described, It is shown that the measured field is itself proportional to the Fourier transform of the object, Consequently, as compared to the existing methods, such as back propagation method for a linear array, our method overcomes the well known effects of the finite window in numerical evaluation of the Fourier transform of the measured scattered field. This results into improved reconstruction.

We propose a sound field simulation method for a circular array. In a linear array, when the distance between the loudspeaker units is equal to the interval between the observation points on the lines paralleled to the array, the sound pressures on the observation line can be calculated by the spatial convolution of the set of transfer functions and loudspeakers' driving signals. To apply this idea to a circular array, we developed a simulation method with equiangular observation points on the circle. The spatial circular convolution without zero padding, which is necessary in a linear array, can be used with this method. By conducting convolution based on the fast Fourier transform (FFT), the computational complexity is greatly reduced. Moreover, assuming that non-active loudspeakers are included in the loudspeaker array, the proposed method can be applied to an unequal interval array. For example, when the number of observation points is set to 128 and the number of loudspeakers is set to 32, circular convolution with FFT reduces the computational complexity to 75% compared to the conventional method. In addition, we argue that this method can be applied to a room in which the first reflected sounds are reflected from the floor. The proposed method is useful for simulating the sound field for a circular array when the suitable spatial samplings of the circumferential and radial directions are set.

This paper presents a novel design of low-profile circular array of H-plane horn antenna whose radiating aperture is on the side surface of a short solenoid. The designed antenna operates from 835MHz to 2436MHz and exhibits good radiation patterns and gain over the entire operating frequency band. Simulated results are provided to verify the design concept. This proposed antenna is potentially very useful for spectrum monitoring systems mounted a moving platform.

This work investigates the pattern synthesis of discrete antenna elements placed equidistantly on a circular ring. In order to synthesize the antenna pattern, the phase mode analysis is investigated to compute the excitation amplitude and phase of discrete elements. A very low side-lobe level compared with earlier phase mode based approaches is achieved using the modified |J(1)(x)/x| pattern. The desired side-lobe level (SLL) and beam direction in the pattern characteristics are also effectively achieved. It is observed that a variation in the phase distribution with the amplitude distribution constant results in beam steering, while, for reducing the SLL, both the amplitude and phase distributions need to be suitably changed. A slight increase in beamwidth is observed with the reduction in the SLL.

In this paper, the effect of electromagnetic mutual couplings on a circular array antenna for angle of arrival (AOA) estimation was investigated. The analytical results reveal that even in the presence of mutual couplings, the radiation gain of the antenna for AOA estimation is nearly the same as that of a half-wavelength dipole antenna. We verified that this phenomenon is attributed to the decoupling mechanism caused by the cancellation of signals induced in 50-Omega load impedances.

This paper presents a design of fractal antenna array based in circular arrays of circular subarrays for scannable pattern using rotational symmetry properties for a maximum performance in terms of side lobe level (SLL), directivity (DIR) and dynamic range ratio (DRR). The performance of the fractal antenna array optimized is compared with respect to the cases of uniform amplitude excitation and the Taylor amplitude distribution using conventional progressive phase for the same array geometry.
