Features and futures of smart antennas for wireless communications: A technical review

Abstract

Smart antenna is one of the most proficient and dominant technological innovations for maximizing capacity, improve quality, and coverage in wireless communications system. This work presents relevant comprehensive technical review of research work, unanswered questions, and untried methods on smart antennas technology for wireless communication systems. This also examines most of the significant improvements in the field of smart antennas technologies and the related fields in wireless communication systems. An evaluation of the analytical techniques for the theoretical analysis of adaptive beamforming algorithm, level of the system performance optimization approaches has been highlighted. Performance realistic evaluation and implementation cogent parameters areas for the deployment of smart antennas on the performance system in wireless communication systems have been also examined.
