Abstract
This article is an overview of smart antenna applications in fixed broadband wireless access networks. Different smart antenna techniques are described including advances such as “spatial multiplexing” that can dramatically increase the performance of BWA networks. The impact of SA techniques on capacity and throughput of BWA networks is discussed
