Abstract:
This work is to develop a prototype model of the Smart Antenna for the wireless
communication networks which could appropriately be utilized in 4G communication. An
antenna array system with the aid of control circuitry is designed, implemented and tested.
The design, implementation and testing procedure of this prototype of the Smart Antenna
includes theoretical modeling, model simulation to narrow the beam, developing algorithm to
rotate the beam and implementation of antemia array and control circuitry incorporated with
the beam rotation algorithm as well as testing the system to validate with the designed
standards. Even though, the control circuitry is designed, it has not been implemented due to
the unavailability in the local market and the high cost of dynamic phase shifters. As an
alternative, the array system is tested with the static phase shifters (delay lines) to authenticate
with the blueprint.
