Abstract

Adaptive array antenna is receiving attention because it can suppress interference waves coming from other cells. We investigate performance of adaptive array antenna with widely spaced antenna elements. We show that at a base station the adaptive array antenna with wide element spacing has better bit error rate performance due to space diversity effect than the one with narrow element spacing under co-channel interference and multipath fading environment
