Abstract :
This paper presents a performance evaluation of robust algorithms for direction finding and adaptive beamforming used in the design of smart antenna systems. A simulation tool with a graphical user interface which implements these algorithms is developed. Results of numerical simulation are used to design smart antennas systems with optimal performance.
