基于超宽带测量设备设计与实现的多路径AOA识别 TitleDesign and Implementation ofanUltra-Wideband Measurement Setup for Angle of Arrival Estimation of Multipath Components Abstract This thesis proposes an indoor Ultra wideband (UWB) channel measurement technique forhighly directional antenna and multiple input multiple output (MIMO) scenarios. When there are two or more paths reaching the receiving antenna at the same time, it is multipath scenarios. Multipath propagation will cause constructive and destructive interference, and phase shifting of the signal. So it is challenge to estimate the Angle of Arrival (AOA) in the multipath scenarios. Ultra wideband technique has a lager bandwidth and high resolution，which are noteworthy. Antenna impulse is another considerable question, which will have asignificant impact on the channel information. Design and performance of Vivaldi antenna array has been presented. A number of beam patterns havebeen measured and stored by vector network analyzer (VNA) in anechoic chamber. However, the interference among antennas will cause antenna coupling and Unreliable estimation ofAOA. So another UWB antenna: Dielectric rod antenna has been introduced in this thesis. Also a mechanical rotational system has been proposed for Dielectric rod antenna to estimate AOA. On the one hand, this method can prevent interference to reduce the antenna coupling. On the other hand, just one antennaneed to be used, the size of the antenna array has been reduced. This paper also proposed amethod which makes it possible to include the antenna properties in the UWB channel models and extract the channel information from a multipath environment with UWB antennas. The presented technique has a considerable accuracy to estimate the AOA.7488 5 Results 26 5.1 Extraction of antenna properties. 26 5.2 Angle of arrival estimation of NLOS path component. 26 5.3 Channel information reconstruction26 5.4 Impulse response reconstruction for Vivaldi vs. Biconical antenna Comparison 27
