Pipeline Implementation of Polyphase PSO for Adaptive Beamforming Algorithm

الملخص EN

Adaptive beamforming is a powerful technique for anti-interference, where searching and tracking optimal solutions are a great challenge.

In this paper, a partial Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm is proposed to track the optimal solution of an adaptive beamformer due to its great global searching character.

Also, due to its naturally parallel searching capabilities, a novel Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA) pipeline architecture using polyphase filter bank structure is designed.

In order to perform computations with large dynamic range and high precision, the proposed implementation algorithm uses an efficient user-defined floating-point arithmetic.

In addition, a polyphase architecture is proposed to achieve full pipeline implementation.

In the case of PSO with large population, the polyphase architecture can significantly save hardware resources while achieving high performance.

Finally, the simulation results are presented by cosimulation with ModelSim and SIMULINK.
