Smart antenna technology is revolutionizing today’s wireless systems and is impacting the use of spectrum, the cost of network setup, service quality and so much more. Smart Antenna systems have the ability to improve the link quality by overcoming the effect of multi-path propagation. They can also reduce the interference and increase the capacity while enabling the transmission of a variety of data streams from dissimilar antennas. Spectral efficiency, higher capacity, extended range and coverage are just some of the benefits that smart antenna systems have to offer. However, factors such as the price of a smart antenna and standardization issues are likely to inhibit the growth of this market for a few years. Technological advances resulting from research work across the globe is expected to address the cost issues impacting the market.
