SMART ANTENNA FOR 5G APPLICATIONS
INTRODUCTION
Smart antennas (also known as adaptive array
antennas, digital antenna arrays, multiple
antennas and, recently, MIMO) are antenna arrays
with smart signal processing algorithms used to
identify spatial signal signatures such as the
direction of arrival (DOA) of the signal, and use
them to calculate beamforming vectors which are
used to track and locate the antenna beam on the
mobile/target .

Smart antenna techniques are used notably in
acoustic signal processing, track and scan radar,
radio astronomy and radio telescopes, and mostly
in cellular systems like W-CDMA and UMTS.

CIRCUIT DIAGRAM SPECIAL FEATURES
Range extension:
In sparsely populated areas, the gain provided by
adaptive antennas can extend the range of a cell
to cover a larger area and more users than would
be possible with omnidirectional or sector
antennas.

Interference reduction and rejection :
In populated areas, increasing capacity is of prime
importance. To reduce interference, directional
PARAMETERS beams are steered toward the mobiles.
Interference to co-channel mobiles occurs only if
they are within the narrow beamwidth of the

directional beam.

. Spatial division multiple access:
Adaptive antennas allow a base station to
communicate with two or more mobiles on the
same frequency using space division multiple
access (SDMA).

ANDVANTAGES/DISADVANTAGES
ADVANTAGES:
•It improves the wireless system performance.
•It is economic for a large range of potential users.
•It increases in signal quality, capacity as well as
the coverage.
•It is possible to have multiple channels in spatial
dimension.
LIMITATIONS:
•It must be compatible with TDMA and/or CDMA
standards.
•They must be able to form beams on reverse
control channel access requests, and interface to
existing base stations without a proprietary
interface and without disrupting handoff
management.
•They must also maintain linearity over a large
dynamic range due to their high gain, and possibly
with more channels per base station
CONCLUSION
Hence, we can conclude that smart antennas
present a huge scope in future for communication
applications owing to their rapid increase in
popularity.
With features like data speed enhancement, error
rate reduction and IOT applications it is becoming
the obvious choice for 5G applications.
