Research on Beamforming Technique for Communications in Moving of Warship Circular Array Antenna

Abstract:

Uniform circular antenna array of warship can bring beam and interference null steering from 360° symmetry without rotating. Directional communications can be achieved by UCA geometry. To solve the problem that warship’s stance is changed dynamically in course of sailing, a method was suggested that the electricity phases of UCA elements were changed based on information of stance about longitudinal sway, transverse sway and course. The proposed method can change beam directivity, and ensure providing a very directive pattern with stabilization, so that warships communication in moving each other. An expression of array maximum directivity forming with dynamic is proposed for UCA antenna. The simulation demonstrates that the beam forming method of communications in moving is validity, and is worth using with wide application.
