SMART ANTENNA SYSTEMS • Increasing use in Mobile WirelessCommunicationsdue todemand for • Higher Capacity • Higher Coverage • Higher bit rate • Improved link quality • Mobility
Smart Antenna • Antenna with a digital signalprocessing • capability to transmit and receive in an • adaptive and • spatiallysensitive • manner.
Aim • to maximize the antenna gain in the desired direction • to minimize the gain in directions of interferers
An Example: Smart Antenna Array = “a person’s head”
TYPES • (According to level of intelligence) • Switched Beam Antennas • Phased Arrays • Adaptive Arrays
Top View Top View Antenna Array Antenna SMART ANTENNAS (1) Omnidirectional Sectorized
Active Beam Desired User Antenna Array Interfering User Antenna Array SMART ANTENNAS (2) Switched Beam System Adaptive Array
TYPES SDMA (Space Division Multiple Access)
USAGE • cellular and wireless networks • radar • electronic warfare (EWF) as a countermeasure to electronic jamming • satellite systems
SOME BENEFITS • Capacity increase • Range increase • Multipath rejection • Reduced expense • Higher reliability (security)
SOME DRAWBACKS • Transceiver complexity • Resource management • Physical size
