Smart antennas for mobile satellite communications

Qi Luo, Steven Gao, Josaphat Tetuko Sri Sumantyo

Abstract

Smart antenna is important for satellite communications because it can increase the channel capacity, spectrum efficiency and coverage range of the communication systems. The smart antennas can be categorized into two types: beam-switching smart antenna and adaptive smart antenna. This paper overviews the technology for both types of smart arrays with general system architecture and design examples. A detailed list of references is given in the end of this paper.
