In recent years, high-speed wireless communication is in vogue. In wireless communication systems, multipath fading, delay and interferenc occurres by reflection or diffraction. In a high-speed wireless communication, it becomes a necessary to separate desired signal from delay or interference signal. Thus to overcome these problems Smart antenna systems have been developed. Basically there are...

In this paper, we propose a dual smart antenna system incorporated into handsets for the 3GPP WCDMA system, in which a diversity combiner combines the two rake receiver outputs using a diversity combining scheme. We considered three diversity combining schemes, selection diversity, square law combining, and equal gain combining (EGC), and two types of the channel model for the dual antenna sign...

We present measurement results with a GSM1800 smart antenna base station. The base station is equipped with an adaptive antenna array processor that allows in every GSM frame full beam adaptation in uplink and downlink. The smart antenna processing is based on the estimation of the directions of arrival in uplink. It includes separate DOA trackers for uplink and downlink, angular diversity, and...

Recently, the smart antenna (a blind adaptive antenna array) has brought much attention to its ability to improve the future code-division multiple-access (CDMA) wireless communications systems. However, Adachi et al. [1], [2] employed only one out of elements that are in a smart antenna array during the pseudonoise (PN) code acquisition process due to the difficulty in obtaining the weight coe...

The smart antenna is a technology and has been applied to the cellular and mobile communication system. It is a combination of multiple antenna elements with a signal processing capability to optimize its radiation and/or reception pattern automatically change in response to the signal environment. The core of smart antenna is the selection of smart algorithms in adaptive array. In this paper, ...

Smart antenna technology is a promising means to overcome signal impairments in wireless personal communications. When spatial signal processing achieved through smart antennas is combined with temporal signal processing, the space-time processing can mitigate interference and multipath to yield higher network capacity, coverage, and quality. In this dissertation, we propose a dual smart antenn...

Smart antenna is the most efficient leading innovation for maximum capacity and improved quality and coverage. A systematic comparison of the performance of different Adaptive Algorithms for beamforming for Smart Antenna System has been extensively studied in this research work. Simulation results revealed that training sequence algorithms like Recursive Least Squares (RLS) and Least Mean Squar...

The term smart antenna incorporates all situations in which a system is using an antenna array and the antenna pattern is dynamically adjusted by the system required.Two major issues in smart antennas are Direciton of Arrival (DOA) estimation and beamforming. The Direction of Arrival of all the incoming signals including the interfering signals are estimated using DOA algorithms.Some of the DOA...

Wireless communication systems often suffer problems from multipath and interfering signals. This paper compares two types of adaptive beamforming algorithms for optimising and setting the weights of smart antenna systems, namely the Least Mean Square algorithm (LMS) and Sample Matrix Inversion (SIM). The direction of the main beam of the antenna system is adjusted to enhance the desired signal...

This chapter introduces the concept of multi-beam antenna (MBA) in mobile ad hoc networks and the recent advances in the research relevant to this topic. MBAs have been proposed to achieve concurrent communications with multiple neighboring nodes while they inherit the advantages of directional antennas, such as the high directivity and antenna gain. MBAs can be implemented in the forms of mult...
