Abstract :
The development of RF receivers and transmitters for a sixteen element GSM/GPRS adaptive antenna is presented. The receivers must satisfy special requirements on noise rejection, gain and coherence of signals provided by different array elements. The T shaped array allows beamforming in both elevation and azimuth planes.
