Abstract :
At present a lot of attention is paid to cellular networks where the smart antennas are used. In such networks, a base station antenna changes the main lobe of the radiation pattern direction in order to improve system performance. In this report a program of research of the optimal orientation of the base station antenna is proposed. The obtained results are discussed.
