In the paper the digital beamforming is examined in azimuth and elevation, which allows more accurate formation of nulls and maximum of the radiation pattern. The minimum variance distortionless response beamformer, the sample matrix inversion algorithm using regularization, and the null steering algorithms at the output of cylindrical, hemispherical and planar lattices are considered. The ratio of the useful signal power to the active interference plus noise resulting power and the bit error ratio at the output of digital antenna arrays are estimated depending on the directivity of the antenna elements and the number of averaging samples. It has been established that a hemispherical antenna array can significantly increase the transmission reliability in comparison with the considered ones, which will reduce the computational load without using complicated diagramming algorithms.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
