Smart Antenna Advantages

Smart antenna is an adaptive antenna array which contains multiple antenna elements. The TDD mode of operation of TDSCDMA offers optimum support for the implementation of smart antennas technology due to the radio path reciprocity of downlink and uplink operating on the same carrier in both directions. Smart antennas minimize inter and intracell interference and increase the capacity of the system With the higher spectrum efficiency achieved by smart antenna, the number of basestations is reduced in metropolitan and heavy density city.Smart antennas’ high directivity also reduces the number of basestations required to 1/4 in rural areas with low population density.
