Abstract

In this paper, we consider optimum array configurations for multiple satellite signals in interference-free environment. The two measures of maximum output signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and equal gains towards all sources incident on the array are considered for the array design. As it is computationally exhaustive to enumerate all configurations and implement eigenvalue decomposition to compare respective maximum eigenvalues, we resort to the relaxation of maximizing the lower bound of the output SNR. Subsequently, an iterative linear fractional programming method is proposed to maximize the spectral norm of the source covariance matrix. Simulation examples confirm that the array configuration plays a vital role in determining the array processing performance in interference-free scenarios. The selected optimum subarrays achieve maximum performance preservations with a dramatically reduced cost.
