Smart antennas are now widely expended in transmission systems due to their vital plusses. To boost the performance of smart antenna operation, it is crucial to design an efficient beamforming pattern based on specific antenna parameters. Due to their numerous benefits, smart antennas are now often utilized in communication systems. It is essential to create a successful beamforming pattern based on certain antenna parameters with the objective of improvement in the performance of smart antenna operation. Beamforming strategies utilizing a combination of soft computing techniques were proposed in earlier works. These methods, however, did not take signal Direction of Arrival (DOA) precision into account. While determining the beamforming pattern for smart antennas, this research addresses the DOA issue. The researchers use a variety of techniques and conduct a comparison analysis to determine an exact DOA estimate. The authors proposed a method that shows an optimal result after resolving the existing problems for estimating the DOA with precision. In comparison to the traditional DOA pattern, this innovation produces a more accurate DOA pattern with reduced undesired side lobes. The researchers derive the antenna beamforming pattern in accordance with the necessary direction of angles using the predicted DOA pattern. The experimental results demonstrated that the proposed beamforming technology performs better than earlier techniques. In this work, advancement in beamforming precision can lead to better communication system performance and overall efficiency of smart antennas.
