What is Smart Antenna?
•
A smart antenna system combines multiple antenna
elements with a signal-processing capability to
optimize its radiation and/or reception pattern
automatically in response to the signal
environment.
•
In truth, antennas are not smart—antenna systems
are smart. Generally co-located with a base station,
a smart antenna system combines an antenna array
with a digital signal-processing capability to
transmit and receive in an adaptive, spatially
sensitive manner.

Types of Smart Antenna systems
• Smart antenna systems are customarily categorized,
as either switched beam or adaptive array systems.
 Switched beam—a finite number of fixed,
predefined patterns or combining strategies
(sectors)
 Adaptive array—an infinite number of patterns
(scenario-based) that are adjusted in real time

SMART ANTENNA
Switched Beam Antennas
•
It form multiple fixed beams with heightened
sensitivity in particular directions.
•
These antenna systems detect signal strength,
choose from one of several predetermined, fixed
beams, and switch from one beam to another as the
mobile moves throughout the sector.
•
switched beam systems combine the outputs of
multiple antennas in such a way as to form finely
sectorized (directional) beams with more selectivity
.

Adaptive Array Antennas
•
Adaptive antenna technology represents the most
advanced smart antenna approach by using a variety
of new signal-processing algorithms.
•
It provides optimal gain while simultaneously
identifying, tracking, and minimizing interfering
signals.

The goals of a smart antenna system
•
The purpose of a smart antenna system is to
augment the signal quality of the radio-based
system through more focused transmission of radio
signals while enhancing capacity through
increased frequency reuse.
•
The features of a smart antenna system are
- signal gain.
- inference rejection.
-power efficiency.

Architecture of smart antenna system
•
Switched beam and adaptive array systems enable
a base station to customize the beams they
generate for each remote user effectively by means
of internal feedback control.
•
Listening to the cell.(uplink processing).
•
Speaking to the users(downlink processing).

Who can use smart antennas ?
• Smart antenna technology can significantly improve
wireless system performance and economics for a
range of potential users.
• It enables operators of PCS, cellular, and wireless
local loop (WLL) networks to realize significant
increases in signal quality, capacity, and coverage.

Advantages of smart antenna
Smart antennas can help systems meet
requirements in the following manner:
these
• First, both phased and adaptive arrays provide
increased power by providing higher gain for the
desired signal.
• In terms of interference suppression, phased arrays
reduce the probability of interference with the
narrower beam, and adaptive arrays adjust the beam
pattern to suppress interference.

Uses of smart antenna
• Phased arrays are mainly being studied for point-topoint wireless systems, e.g., for wireless local loops.
•
Adaptive arrays are being considered on cellular
terminals where local scattering causes wide angular
spread.
• In the TDMA system ANSI-136 adaptive antenna
algorithms have been widely deployed.

Conclusion
• The use of smart antennas is not purely a radio
transmission issue.
• It also influences network services such as
handover and connection setup.
• A smart antenna is a digital wireless
communications antenna system that takes
advantage of diversity effect at the source
(transmitter), the destination (receiver), or both.
