Adaptive array antennas and switched beam array antennas have become core components in future mobile networks. Adaptive arrays can steer beams in any direction of interest while nulling interfering signals, allowing them to track and locate signals. Switched beam arrays have several fixed beam patterns and must decide which beam to access at any given time, with the overall goal of increasing gain based on the user's location.
3. Has become a core system component in future
generation mobile networks.
Adaptive array allow the antenna to steer the beam to
any direction of interest while simultaneously nulling
interfering signals.
This antennas can track and locate signals.
6. They have several available fixed beam patterns.
Decision has to be made which beam has to be access
at any given point of time.
Overall goal of the switched beam system is to increase
gain according to the location of user.
