In this research, linearly arranged circular antenna
array (LCAA), linearly arranged circular planer antenna array (LCPAA),
linearly arranged rectangular antenna array (LRAA), and linearly
arranged concentric circular antenna array (LCCAA) are analyzed using
robust techniques. These four antenna arrays are briefly investigated to
evaluate their beam width performance, ability to detect a false
signal, and SINR power pattern performances. Robust techniques—fixed
diagonal loading (FDL), optimal diagonal loading (ODL), variable
diagonal loading (VDL), and new variable loading (NVL) techniques—are
applied, and the NVL technique is found to be superior and provides the
best performance with the proposed LCCAA beamformer. With an SINR of
40.45 dB, 40.29 dB, 40.18 dB, and 39.99 dB for 0°, 1°, 2°, and 3°
disparity angles, respectively, and output powers of −0.019 dB, −0.076
dB, and −0.171 dB for 1°, 2°, and 3° disparity angles, respectively,
LCCAA beamformers using the NVL technique outperform other beamformers
with different robust approaches.
