multiple access),
- by time as in TDMA ( time division multiple
access),
- by code as in CDMA ( code division multiple
access) and
- by space through SDMA ( space division multiple
access) in smart antennas.
The Concept
- Smart Antenna consists of a number of radiating
elements, a combining/dividing network and a
control unit.
- Control unit can be called the smart antennas
intelligence. It is realized using a digital signal
processor (DSP).
- Based on this definition of smart antenna, one can
define levels of Intelligence.
Levels of Intelligence
1.) Switched lobe (SL)
- simplest technique, also called switched beam.
- comprises of only a basic switching function
between separate directive antennas or predefined
beams of an array.
- the setting that gives the best performance is
chosen.
Levels of Intelligence
2.)Dynamically phased array (PA):
- a direction of arrival (DOA) algorithm is included for
the signal received from the user.
- continuous tracking can be achieved.
- generalization of the switched lobe concept.
Levels of Intelligence
3.) Adaptive array (AA):
- a DOA algorithm for determining the direction
toward interference sources (e.g., other users) is
added.
- the radiation pattern can then be adjusted to null
out the interferers.
