ABSTRACT

Recent developments in antenna hardware, digital signal processing, and small, low cost digital processors have made possible the introduction of smart antenna systems into wireless and personal communication systems (PCS).  These smart antenna systems have the capability to modify the transmit and receive characteristics of an antenna in order to enhance communication with individual users while automatically minimizing interference from all other sources.  The most sophisticated versions of these smart antennas can adaptively, and in real-time, adjust their characteristics to the sensed electromagnetic environment.  Though originally designed and developed for sophisticated military systems such as surveillance and tracking radar, direction finding equipment and secure communications systems, recent advances will provide substantial performance increase for wireless and PCS networks at reasonable cost.  Smart antenna technology will thus create a “virtual cell” for every user within the PCS domain.

 

This course is intended for scientists, engineers, and technical managers who require an introduction to the basic principles and techniques used in smart antennas. The course is intended for those with no previous background in the area and covers a wide variety of topics in antenna arrays and related digital processing techniques.
