Tripole Vector Antenna Design for GNSS Receiver Application Aman Varshney, Rita Choudhary, Suresh Dahiya, Raghavendra Pal IEEE Antennas and Wireless Propagation Letters, 2025 This paper presents the design, fabrication, and verification of a tripole vector antenna, which has immediate applications in multi-antenna Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receivers. The antenna can be used to estimate the direction of a circularly polarized unwanted signal coming from given elevation and azimuthal angles. The design comprises three orthogonal dipole antenna elements tuned at the L5 frequency of 1.17645 GHz while minimizing the cross-coupling between the elements. The geometry of the antenna assists in the resolution of the vector signal in analogous 3-D physical space. Therefore, signal processing can be used to resolve the actual 3-D direction of arrival (DoA) of a signal, which can be used for decision by the processor onboard an aerial vehicle. A good match is identified between simulated parameters in the CST studio suite and measured parameters in the anechoic chamber using the multi-antenna development board Xilinx ZC706 with the AD9361 RF front-end.
3D Antenna array for multi-user massive MIMO system to minimize unfavorable propagation Bablu Kumar Singh, Suresh Dahiya, Raghavendra Pal E Prime Advances in Electrical Engineering Electronics and Energy, 2024 Unfavorable propagation in massive multiple input multiple output (MIMO) systems is an underlying channel condition that reduces the gains offered by the system in terms of parallel channels. This paper presents a study on different types of antenna array configurations at base station (BS) to minimize unfavorable propagation conditions. Unfavorable propagation results in increased correlation between channel vectors of two or more mobile terminals (MTs) which arises when the signals from two or more MTs have small angular separation and small angular spread. The study starts with the investigation of the conventional uniform linear array (ULA) under different propagation conditions using a geometrical channel model based on a single cluster of scatterers per MT to quantify the performance degradation in unfavorable propagation. Subsequently, the performance of other types of array geometries is investigated. A custom cluster-based geometrical channel model is used in this study which includes practical propagation aspects like multipath fading, shadow fading, and the effect of BS height. Further, the study considers two cases: micro-cell and macro-cell. Under space constraint settings in terms of the maximum dimension of the array, the proposed technique uses randomized antenna locations in the array to minimize the effect of unfavorable propagation. Based on the results on performance parameters like user correlation and capacity, the study reveals that an antenna array configuration comprising of elements distributed random-homogeneously in a spherical shell outperforms other configurations.
DoA Estimation of GNSS Jamming Signal using Tripole Vector Antenna and Random Forest Regression Rita Choudhary, Aman Varshney, Suresh Dahiya International Symposium on Advanced Networks and Telecommunication Systems Ants, 2024 This paper presents an effective strategy for the Global Navigation Satellite System receivers (GNSS) to estimate the direction of arrival (DoA) of jamming signals. A tripole vector antenna is used which consists of three orthogonal dipole antennas. This configuration enables DoA estimation for all directions. A Random Forest Regression (RFR) based model is designed for DoA estimation using the signal received from the tripole vector antenna. Using a baseband receiver processing, the training and testing datasets are prepared. The performance accuracy of the proposed methodology is validated and verified using performance metrics such as $R^{2}$ score and Mean Squared Error. The model hyperparameter number of estimators is tuned on the basis of the said performance metrics. The proposed signal model and regression model are able to estimate DoA of a jamming signal coming from a spinning in both azimuth and elevation. The accuracy of the proposed model in terms of RMSE ranges from 0° to 0.122° for varying jamming to signal ratio (J/S).
L-Shape Array-Based Technique to Reduce Cross User Correlation in Massive MIMO Systems Suresh Dahiya, Raghavendra Pal IEEE Wireless Communications Letters, 2023 This letter proposes a new L-shape array based technique for massive Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) systems to overcome the cross user correlation (CUC) of tightly coupled users in a near line-of-sight scenario in fifth-generation massive MIMO systems without changing signal processing complexity. The performance of the scheme is validated using standard performance metrics like CUC and achievable sum-rate. The results reveal that CUC reduces from 0.8 to around 0.05, and the scheme achieves CUC and sum-rates very close to an independently identically distributed Gaussian channel even under the tightest coupling of mobile terminals. The technique requires a few additional components per radio frequency (RF) chain at the base station.
Proposing a Simple Microwave Power Transfer System Using a Metallic Waveguide Lens and a Novel Magnetron Control Scheme Vedant Arya, Kirti Inamdar, Suresh Dahiya 2023 IEEE Microwaves Antennas and Propagation Conference Mapcon 2023, 2023 A wireless power transmission system is developed, which is capable of transmitting power as high as 700W, using microwave radiation at a frequency of 2.45 GHz. The system includes a conventional horn antenna transmitter and receiver and a metallic plate lens. The lens enables the antennas to be operated in their far field region without incurring a loss in power, thus increasing the operating distance of the system. The lens works by shaping the incident wave front to converge at a single point after passing through it. It is designed and simulated on CST Studio Suite and then fabricated, using sheet aluminium, making it lightweight and reducing its cost. A novel method to control the output power of the common cavity magnetron is also developed and tested. Using off the shelf cavity magnetron for microwave generation reduces the complexity and the cost of the system. The salient features of this system include extreme cost reduction, high power rating and portability. The transmission distance is kept 3m for testing purposes, but can be readily scaled up.
A Novel Approach for GNSS Signal Tracking Based on Sliding Mode Control Jitu Sanwale, Mangal Kothari, Suresh Dahiya, Hari Hablani IFAC Papersonline, 2022 Designing a robust carrier tracking loop for GNSS receivers is a challenging task under strong scintillation, multipath, clock uncertainty, interference, and vehicle high dynamics. The conventional tracking methods such as proportional integral filter (PIF), Wiener filter (WF), and Kalman filter (KF) are known to perform well under given GNSS signal model parameters and noise characteristics. If it is not the case, then performance deteriorates and may result in loss of the carrier lock. To circumvent this problem, we propose a robust control and filtering method based on the well-known sliding mode approach. In this paper, a sliding mode control and state estimation framework is developed for GNSS carrier tracking. The efficacy of the proposed method is proved by simulation studies for GPS(L1) signal. From static to high dynamics operating cases are simulated for proving its usage on the high dynamics vehicles such as high speed trains, flighter jets, and missile systems. The achieved results are promising for use of the proposed method on these vehicles and the receiver operating in the adverse (weak GNSS signal) conditions.
