Development of an Adaptive Beamforming Algorithm for Signal Tracking and Acquisition in a Mobile Radio Antenna System

This paper focuses on the Development of an algorithm for signal tracking and acquisition in a mobile Radio for antenna system.Equipment used when carrying out this research work included but not limited to transmitting equipment measurements software (Temsoftware), Laptops and log files which showed received signal strength with distance from the base station.Results obtained was about 11% from the real time experiment which showed that mobile radio network is prone to signal failure and can be minimize using an algorithm in terms of significant reduction in Bit Error Rate which imply improvement performance of the mobile radio network.In addition, this work did not only include experiment done through empirical measurement, but also an algorithm model were developed and implemented as a reference model for accurate prediction.The proposed algorithm system models were based on the analysis of continuous time and discrete space, and some other assumptions.This developed system was validated using MATLAB (version 7.6.3.35)program and compared with the conventional antenna for accuracy.
