چکیده
A base station antenna is an RF component capable of critically affecting performance of a cellular system. Down tilting base station antennas is used in mobile communication to prevent co-channel interference. In this paper, we introduce antenna configuration for electrical downtilt. Here a genetically optimized technique is employed. Printed circuit dipoles are employed as radiation elements.

Optimization Capabilities of LMS and SMI Algorithm for Smart Antenna Systems (RESEARCH NOTE)
In the present paper convergence characteristics of Sample matrix Inversion (SMI) and Least Mean Square (LMS) adaptive beam-forming algorithms (ABFA) are compared for a Smart Antenna System (SAS) in a multipath environment. SAS are employed at base stations for radiating narrow beams at the desired mobile users. The ABFA are incorporated in the digital signal processors for adjusting the weight...
متن کاملDesign and Fabrication of Plasma Array Antenna with Beam Forming
In this paper, the design and implementation of plasma antenna array with beam forming is discussed. The structure consists of a circular array of plasma tube enclosed in a unipolar UHF band monopole antenna. Beam forming is possible by stimulated plasma tubes. The combination of the above antenna with plasma excitation controller makes a beam forming smart antenna. An experimental model in UHF...
متن کاملPhased array antennas for mobile communications
Mobile communications demands present new challenges for transmission. Traditionally, antennas used at base stations to communicate with mobile units within an area are omni-directional. In order to allow a higher density of participants within the area, a “pencil” beam is used. The beam tracks and follows the movement of the mobile unit. This results in an additional advantage: the fading effe...

In this research work, a multibeam antenna which is a combination of a beamformer network (BFN) and a linear array antenna, has been designed. A Rotman lens has been chosen as beamformer network and Vivaldi antennas have been selected for constructing array antenna. The Substrate Integrated Waveguide (SIW) was used for implementing Rotman lens. After explanation the structure of Substrate integ...
متن کاملDigitally Excited Reconfigurable Linear Antenna Array Using Swarm Optimization Algorithms
This paper describes the synthesis of digitally excited pencil/flat top dual beams simultaneously in a linear antenna array constructed of isotropic elements. The objective is to generate a pencil/flat top beam pair using the excitations generated by the evolutionary algorithms. Both the beams share common variable discrete amplitude excitations and differ in variable discrete phase excitations...
