Title: Study and Implementation on FPGA Board of a Digital Beamformer Algorithm for Uniform Circular Antenna Array
Authors: Ali ABBADI and Jugurtha OUKSILI and Toufik MABED1 and Boualem MAGAZ
Abstract: The beamforming is a spatial filtering technique that uses the output of a sensor array to preserve the amplitude of a signal in a desired look direction relative to background noise and directional interference. It’s the combination of received signals from a set of each of the antenna elements to form a directional antenna. The formed beam can be pointed electronically, although the antenna does not rotates physically. In this work, we propose an FPGA implementation approach of digital beamforming algorithm for Uniform Circular antenna Array (UCA) using Virtex-II™ V2MB1000 Development Board. A description of the antenna geometry and the beamformer algorithm is presented. The architecture of the implementation approach, the implementation constraints and the implementation the results are discussed
