High-resolution direction finding using a switched parasitic antenna

Abstract: Direction finding by exploiting the directional radiation patterns of an Switched Parasitic Antenna (SPA) is considered. By employing passive elements (parasites), which can be shorted to ground using pin diodes, directional radiation patterns can be obtained. The direction finding performance of the SPA is examined by calculating a lower bound on the direction finding accuracy, the Cramér-Rao lower Bound (CRB). It is found that the SPA offers a compact implementation with high-resolution direction finding per… Show more

“…To increase the mechanical and environmental durability of the antenna array, a cover is necessary. Previous efforts on designing an antenna element dedicated to DOA estimation are based on dipoles and composite dipoles [13], patch antenna arrays with EBG substrates [14], and Switched Parasitic Antennas (SPAs) [15].…”

“…Previous works on DOA estimation usually using isotropic antenna array and mutual coupling effect between isotropic elements is ignored [4][5][6][7][8]. There are also experimental works using directional antenna array that employ various DOA algorithms such as Bartlett [9], MUSIC [10][11][12] and Matrix Pencil [13]. To the best of our knowledge, there is no previous work that provides analysis of DOA estimation between isotropic and directional antenna array.…”
