Abstract

Base station antenna arrays are a promising method for providing significant capacity increases for third generation cellular mobile radio systems. This paper presents a space-time receiver structure and evaluates a range of direction-of-arrival (DOA) algorithms, to assess the potential capacity gains from the employment of multiple receiver antennas for wideband code division multiple access (W-CDMA).
