Abstract

In wireless communications, the smart antenna systems (or antenna arrays) can be used to suppress multipath fading effects with antenna diversity and to increase system capacity by supporting multiple co-channel users in reception and transmission. This paper presents experimental results of diversity gain and mitigation of multipath fading obtained by using a smart antenna system in typical wireless scenarios
