Summary:The concepts of array processing and smart antenna give a promising solution to the significant increase of data rates in wireless transmission systems. In this paper, we deal with the problem of designing linear antenna arrays for specific radiation properties of MIMO applications based on Direction-Of-Arrival estimation and Taylor beamforming techniques. The objectives of this paper can be summarized as to minimize the maximum sidelobe level (SLL), combined the Taylor method and MUSIC (Multiple Signal Classification) algorithm. The performance of this hybrid optimization determines how well the system is convenient for a reliable wireless communication and interference reduction. This paper will discuss the application of MUSIC algorithm for linear array antenna (4, 8 and 16 antennas) in order to estimate the Direction-Of-Arrival of various angles of elevation and azimuth.
