Smart Antenna Market: Adaptive Array Antennas, Multiple Antennas, MIMO - Global Forecast and Analysis (2012 - 2017)
A smart antenna is a digital wireless communications antenna system that takes advantage of diversity effect at the transmitter, the receiver, or both. Diversity effect involves the transmission and/or reception of multiple radio frequency (RF) waves to increase data speed and reduce the error rate.
In usual wireless communications, a single antenna is generally used at the source, and another single antenna is used at the destination. This is called SISO (single input, single output). Such systems are exposed to problems caused by multipath effects or interference, when it comes in contact with an electromagnetic field. A smart antenna system combines multiple antenna elements with a signal processing capability to optimize its radiation and/or reception pattern automatically in response to the signal environment. Smart antenna systems are usually categorized as either switched beam or adaptive array systems.
