Abstract

This paper reports the configuration of a smart antenna receiver testbed for land mobile communication base stations and the experimental results obtained for it. The antenna pattern and bit error rate (BER) are measured in a radio anechoic chamber. These results show the interference can be suppressed effectively by beamforming using an adaptive algorithm, e.g., LMS or CMA
