Smart antenna is one of the latest inventions in science and technology,
which facilitates the communication process in a better way. There are a lot of features
in smart antennas. It has been very useful to track the desired antenna’s location by
calculating the beam formation. Due to the implementation of smart signal processing
algorithm, we can use the spectrum efficiently. There is a reduction of cost in
establishing new wireless networks. It also gives more reliable quality of service. In
this chapter, we will talk about the benefits and the most recent advances in smart
antenna transceiver architecture. By researching the smart antenna techniques, it is
observed that the success of the smart antenna lies on two major factors:
i) Top-down compatibility: For next generation communication system, the features of
smart antenna need to be preferred.
ii) Bottom-up feasibility: According to critical parameters, smart antenna technique
performs realistically.
At the end we will discuss market trends, future projections, and the expected financial
impact of smart antenna systems deployment.
