Smart Antenna Technology in Mobile Communication and Its Research Progress
Mingyue Zhai · 2017 International Conference on Computer Technology, Electronics and Communication (ICCTEC) · 2017
The use of smart antenna technology in mobile communications is arousing great concern. The smart antenna can effectively improve the signal-to-noise ratio and system performance and capacity. This paper makes a detailed description for the smart antenna. It introduces the basic concepts and historical sources of smart antennas. At the same time, the function of smart antenna in optimizing system is discussed in detail. Since the smart antenna algorithm is the core of this technology, the paper also describes various algorithms in digital beam forming. Finally, some suggestions are put forward for the future development in this area.
