Abstract :
Adaptive type smart antennas does not usually operate on the deployed UMTS systems, although UTRA-UMTS preview their operation and they also could improve capacity specially in a multiservice environment. This paper describes the implementation of a simplified version of an adaptive antenna, that can be applied to standard Node-Bs, both in the up and down links.
