Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) A digital beamforming (DBD antenna is suitable for adaptive processing. However, it inherently has problems concerning the dynamic range of analog-to-digital conversion. In this report, we construct a model for evaluating the effects of finite wordlength with fixed-point arithmetic for DBF antennas. We derive the evaluation formulae of signal to noise ratio after the beamforming processing, and compare the results of computer simulation with the derived formulae. As a result, we can find the limit of application of the evaluation formulae and the limit of the LSB level.
