Implementation of a Three-class Classification LS-SVM Model for the Hybrid Antenna Array with Bowtie Elements in the Adaptive Beamforming Application

Somayeh Komeylian, Christopher Paolini

To address three significant challenges of massive wireless communications including propagation loss, long-distance transmission, and channel fading, we aim at establishing the hybrid antenna array with bowtie elements in a compact size for beamforming applications. In this work we rigorously demonstrate that bowtie elements allow for a significant improvement in the beamforming performance of the hybrid antenna array compared to not only other available antenna arrays, but also its geometrical counterpart with dipole elements. We have achieved a greater than 15 dB increase in SINR values, a greater than 20% improvement in the antenna efficiency, a significant enhancement in the DoA estimation, and 20 increments in the directivity for the hybrid antenna array with bowtie elements, compared to its geometrical counterpart, by performing a three-class classification LS-SVM (LeastSquares Support Vector Machine) optimization method. The proposed hybrid antenna array has shown a 3D uniform directivity, which is accompanied by its superior performance in the 3D uniform beam-scanning capability. The directivities remain almost constant at 40.83 dBi with the variation of angle {\theta}, and 41.21 dBi with the variation of angle {\phi}. The unrivaled functionality and performance of the hybrid antenna array with bowtie elements makes it a potential candidate for beamforming applications in massive wireless communications.
