Abstract:
As
growing
demand
for
mobile
communications is constantly increasing, the need for
better coverage, improved capacity, and higher
transmission quality rises. Smart antenna technology offer
significantly improved solution to reduce interference level
and improve system capacity. The adoption of smart /
adaptive antenna techniques in future wireless systems is
expected to have a significant impact on the efficient use of
the spectrum, the minimization of the cost of establishing
new wireless networks, the optimization of service quality
and realization of transparent operation across multi
technology wireless networks. DOA estimates the direction
of arrival of the signal, using the techniques as MUSIC,
ESPRIT etc. To understand the effect of number of
elements on the DOA and signal errors, simulations are
performed using MATLAB.
I. INTRODUCTION
The main job of DOA (Direction of Arrivals) estimation is to
estimate the direction of arrival of the incoming signals. DOA
depends on many parameters. The parameters are number of
mobile users, number of array elements, inter-element
spacing, number of signals and spatial distribution. As the
number of mobile subscribers increases rapidly, combined
with a demand for more sophisticated mobile services
requiring higher data rates, the operators are forced to
investigate different methods to put more capacity into their
networks.

Where V is a vector of M noise samples, S is a vector of N
signal amplitudes (N=2), and A is the M N Vandermonde
matrix of samples of the signal frequencies. If we assume a
zero-mean signal and white noise, then the covariance of Y

After this finding, it was expected that the main beam would
either be directed in the direction of the closest multipath or
the one with the greatest gain. However, the beam pattern
shown in figure 10,12,14,16 displays the four different beam
patterns. The gains of these beams are half what they would
normally be and swapped between the multipath components.
