An Overview of Adaptive Antenna Systems
Hafeth Hourani · 2005
The use of adaptive antenna systems enables the network operators to increase the wireless network capacity, where such networks are expected to experience an enormous increase in the traffic. This is due to the increased number of users as well as the high data rate service and applications. In addition, adaptive antenna systems offer the potential of increased spectrum efficiency, extended range of coverage and higher rate of frequency reuse. The purpose of this article is to give an overview of the technology and the fundamental system model and used algorithms.
