The advantage of using a sensor array over using a single sensor lies in the fact that an array adds new dimensions to the observation, helping to estimate more parameters and improve the estimation performance. For example an array of radio antenna elements used for beamforming can increase antenna gain in the direction of the signal while decreasing the gain in other directions, i.e., increasing signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) by amplifying the signal coherently. Another example of sensor array application is to estimate the direction of arrival of impinging electromagnetic waves. The related processing method is called Array Signal Processing. Application examples of array signal processing include radar/sonar, wireless communications, seismology, machine condition monitoring, astronomical observations fault diagnosis, etc. Using array signal processing, the temporal and spatial properties (or parameters) of the impinging signals interfered by noise and hidden in the data collected by the sensor array can be estimated and revealed. This is known as parameter estimation. == Principles == Figure 1 illustrates a six-element uniform linear array (ULA). In this example, the sensor array is assumed to be in the far-field of a signal source so that it can be treated as planar wave. Parameter estimation takes advantage of the fact that the distance from the source to each antenna in the array is different, which means that the input data at each antenna will be phase-shifted replicas of each other. Eq. (1) shows the calculation for the extra time it takes to reach each antenna in the array relative to the first one, where c is the velocity of light. $\backslash Delta\; t\_i\; =\; \backslash frac,\; i\; =\; 1,\; 2,\; ...,\; M\; \backslash \; \backslash \; (1)$ Each sensor is associated with a different delay. The delays are small but not trivial. In frequency domain, they are displayed as phase shift among the signals received by the sensors. The delays are closely related to the incident angle and the geometry of the sensor array. Given the geometry of the array, the delays or phase differences can be used to estimate the incident angle. Eq. (1) is the mathematical basis behind array signal processing. Simply summing the signals received by the sensors and calculating the mean value give the result $y\; =\; \backslash frac\backslash sum\_^\; \backslash boldsymbol\; x\_i\; (t-\backslash Delta\; t\_i)\; \backslash \; \backslash \; (2)$ . Because the received signals are out of phase, this mean value does not give an enhanced signal compared with the original source. Heuristically, if we can find weights multiplying to the received signals to set them in phase prior to the summation, the mean value $y\; =\; \backslash frac\backslash sum\_^(\backslash boldsymbol\; w\_i\; \backslash boldsymbol\; x\_i\; (t-\backslash Delta\; t\_i))\; \backslash \; \backslash \; (3)$ will result in an enhanced signal. The process of multiplying a well selected set of weights to the signals received by the sensor array so that the signal is added constructively while suppressing the noise is called beamforming. There are a variety of beamforming algorithms for sensor arrays, such as the delay-and-sum approach, spectral based (non-parametric) approaches and parametric approaches. These beamforming algorithms are briefly described as follows. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sensor array」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク 翻訳と辞書 : 翻訳のためのインターネットリソース Copyright(C) kotoba.ne.jp 1997-2016.
