چکیده
In this paper, we discuss about the problems facing by GSM technology and how a smart antenna system can efficiently counter these problems. Here we present an overview about smart antenna system and how it can be used to eliminate or reduce the problems which limits the performance of GSM. We show here the potential improvements like range extension, multipath diversity, interference suppression, capacity enhancement and increment in data rate. KeywordsAdaptive array system, beam forming network, diversity, fading, interference, switch beam.

A real-time DOA-based smart antenna processor
We designed, built, and tested a real-time processor for a direction-of-arrival-based smart antenna GSM 1800 base station with eight half-wavelength spaced antenna elements. Its processing steps include direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation, user identification, tracking, beamforming, and signal reconstruction. We demonstrate that the accuracy of DOA estimation is not of primary concern, but th...

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...
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 کاملSoft capacity analysis of TDMA systems with slow-frequency hopping and multiple-beam smart antennas
Smart antenna is considered as one of the most effective means for enhancing wireless system capacity. When fractional loading is accompanied with slow-frequency hopping (SFH), soft capacity can be realized in time-division multiple access (TDMA) wireless networks. Then, the interference reduction due to smart antennas, power control, and discontinuous transmission can be directly translated in...
