Design and evaluation of test bed software for a smart antenna system supporting wireless communication in rural areas: Author: Panique, Michael David; Date: 2008-05-15; Program: Electrical Engineering; Abstract: This paper explores the design and development of a test bed to analyze feasibility of utilizing adaptive smart antennas in conjunction with high bandwidth WiMAX radio systems to achieve improved performance for mobile nodes and to suppress potential interference from unwanted signals. Although the new WiMAX standard offers the potential for using smart, adaptive antennas, this functionality has not been implemented. This design serves as a common platform for testing adaptive array algorithms including direction of arrival (DOA) estimation, beamforming, and adaptive tracking, as well as compl...; Download File | View full details
