Performance of Different Types of Array Structures Based on Multiple Signal Classification (MUSIC) Algorithm

Smart antenna systems are rapidly emerging as one of the key technologies that can enhance overall wireless communications system performance. By making use of the spatial dimension, and dynamically generating adaptive receive and transmit antenna patterns, a smart antenna can greatly reduce interference, increase the system capacity, increase power efficiency as well as reduce overall infrastructure costs. Here, the performance of smart antennas with uniform linear arrays (ULA), uniform circular arrays (UCA) and uniform rectangular arrays (URA) is examined and compared using MUSIC algorithm.
