Abstract:
The present invention relates to a multi-band Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) fixed reception pattern antenna apparatus, which can mitigate interference signals using spatial filtering by optimizing the radiation pattern of an antenna. The multi-band GNSS fixed reception pattern antenna apparatus includes a broadband antenna radiator for receiving at least two types of GNSS signals, and a plurality of partition walls for enclosing the antenna radiator around the antenna radiator. Heights and intervals of each of the plurality of partition walls are independent of frequencies of signals desired to be blocked.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a controlled reception pattern antenna that prevents the degradation of anti-jamming performance in a compact array antenna by increasing the antenna gain at a low elevation angle. The proposed antenna includes a radiator for receiving a satellite signal, a ground platform in which the radiator is arranged, and a radiating slot formed in the ground platform. By simply forming a radiating slot in the ground platform, antenna gain may be increased at a low elevation angle. Therefore, it is possible to maintain anti-jamming performance and to reduce the size of the array antenna.

An ultra-wideband tapered slot antenna that is capable of providing spatial independent band-stop characteristics which are irrelevant to the radiation direction of the antenna in a dual-stop band. The antenna includes an ultra-wideband tapered slot antenna includes a radiating unit formed on a first surface of a substrate and configured to radiate radio signals. A feeding unit is formed on a second surface of the substrate and is configured to provide the radio signals to the radiating unit. Separate stubs are formed to be spaced apart from the feeding unit around the feeding unit and are configured to reject frequencies in a first stop band from the radio signals radiated from the radiating unit. A slot is formed in a stub formed at a first end of the feeding unit and is configured to reject frequencies in a second stop band from the radio signals.

An anti-jamming apparatus and method for a compact array antenna are provided. The anti-jamming apparatus for a compact array antenna includes a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) array antenna unit including a plurality of GNSS antennas for receiving GNSS signals transmitted from a satellite. A first beam-forming unit includes a plurality of combination units for receiving respective signals received by the plurality of GNSS antennas as a first reference signal and first auxiliary signals and combining the first reference signal with the first auxiliary signals, thus forming different beams. A second beam-forming unit receives signals of the different beams, and combining the signals of the different beams, thus forming an anti-jamming beam in which an invisible area is minimized.

Abstract:
A method and apparatus for measuring the synthetic reception pattern of an adaptive array antenna, which are divided into a hardware apparatus and a measurement method. The hardware apparatus includes a wavefront simulator, a GNSS simulator, an external controller, a signal measurement unit, and a GNSS receiver. The measurement method using the hardware apparatus includes setting a direction of arrival of jamming and calculating a weight vector, fixing weight vectors at the calculated weight vector and collecting outputs of an array antenna system for all test signals, and displaying the collected data on a grid of a 2D plane. In accordance with the present invention, a weight vector calculated under a specific jamming situation is maintained for all test signals, so that the synthetic reception pattern of the array antenna system can be measured.
