Abstract :
This article presents the results of the investigation of smart antenna modeling, simulations and operation. The experimental setup consisting of an antenna array, microwave circuits, additional control circuitry and implemented adaptive algorithm is described and characterized. The results of measurements of operational smart antenna system are presented in contrast with computer simulations of the antenna adaptation process for various signal and interference scenarios.
