Abstract :
The benefits achieved by the deployment of a switched parasitic array (SPA) at a broadband wireless access (BWA) base station (BS) cell are presented. The antenna design methodology based on genetic algorithms and array designing rules are briefly analyzed. Antenna characteristics and geometry are also presented. Coverage simulation results, considering the proposed antenna system at a typical metropolitan environment, are reported.
