Adaptive type smart antennas have not been implemented yet on the deployed UMTS systems, although UTRA-UMTS preview their operation and they also could improve capacity especially in a multiservice environment. This paper describes a set of novel measurement techniques that must be performed to evaluate the correct operation of a smart antenna system. The paper also describes the measurements carried out on a UMTS smart antenna prototype.
