Abstract

Array antennas with integrated low noise amplifiers have been combined with a butler matrix (BM) to form a beamforming network that can improve the performance of wireless communication systems. The performance of a four‐element array with and without the low noise amplifiers and with and without the BM have been evaluated, in terms of the measured signal to noise ratio (SNR) at each output port. These SNR output signals are then combined to calculate and compare the diversity gains available with selection combining and maximal ratio combining. The results show that selecting the strongest output from the BM gives SNR performance comparable with that of maximal ratio combining, when LNAs are used to compensate for the BM loss.

## Abstract The method for phased array image reconstruction of uniform noise images may be used in conjunction with proper image scaling as a means of reconstructing images directly in SNR units. This facilitates accurate and precise SNR measurement on a per pixel basis. This method is applicable

This paper presents a neural network approach for beamforming and interference cancellation. A three-layer radial basis function neural network is trained with input᎐output pairs. The results obtained from this network are in excellent agreement with the Wiener solution. It was found that networks i

## Abstract The impact of a change in signal‐to‐noise ratio (SNR) of the input signal on the accuracy of a ratiometric wavelength measurement system is studied. The variation of the output ratio of the system due to the change in SNR of the input signal is modeled and the experimental investigation
