DSP Control of Smart Antennas

2014Abstract
Modern beam steered antennas where pattern is
shaped according to optimum criteria. Smart
antennas are the practical realization of adaptive
array signal processing. Smart antennas can be
applied to mobile wireless communication, WLAN,
Wi-Max, MANET, MIMO systems; satellite
communication
etc.
In mobile wireless communication smart antenna can provide higher
system capacity by directing narrow beams towards
users of interest. Smart antennas mitigate the
effects multi-path fading. Smart antennas pattern
are controlled via adaptive algorithms based upon
maximizing signal to interference ratio,
minimizing mean square Error (MSE), steering
towards signal of interest, nulling interference. A
smart antenna consists of an array of antenna
elements (Dipole, Microstrip etc) and uses Digital
Signal Processing (DSP) for phase shifting of the
signal feed to individual elements of the array. In
this paper, we are going to design a DSP control
smart antennas array with digital beam forming
techniques. Multiple Resonant is achieved by
changing the structure of normal patch antenna.
These antennas will be suitable for mobile and
wireless LAN communication
