Abstract :
This paper presented a versatile smart antenna simulation tool which implements both direction finding and adaptive beamforming algorithms. The developed tool can be used for modelling of adaptive antenna arrays to improve and accelerate the design of wireless networks. The developed tool can also be used for computer-aided learning of modern communication systems that utilize smart antennas.
