Smart Antennas for Wireless CDMA Systems

Overview With a number of 3G systems using CDMA as the preferred transmission scheme, extensive research has been done into ways of improving performance in a CDMA system. To this end, a lot of research has been done in coding, modulation, handoff protocols and so on. One of the avenues of possible performance improvement that has not received as much attention is the use of multiple antennas at the base station (and possibly at the mobile handset as well). Multiple antennas can be used for beam steering and diversity combining for obtaining performance gains, thus leading to the concept of Smart Antennas.

Wi-Fi threatens to steal 3G's thunder

It also added additional antennas to the access points so signals could be beamed directly to a home, rather than creating a cloud of access. The signals themselves can get so misdirected they actually interfere with each other as they find their...
