Research on smart antenna technology for terminals for the TD-SCDMA system

This article presents a TDD link level simulation scheme, based on the TDSCDMA wireless telecommunication system, to study the performance improvement given by a multi-antenna receiver on a mobile terminal. The feasibility of a mobile receiver equipped with multi-antenna is discussed. Three different adaptive algorithms are compared under the specifically modeled multipath fading channel. The simulation results show that a dual-antenna arrangement on a mobile terminal can achieve better performance than a conventional single antenna.
