Abstract

A flexible experimental 12-element antenna array testbed was built for high data rate mobile communications and PCS applications. The supported simultaneous data sampling rate on 12 elements is about 3.5 MHz. A field trial was conducted to demonstrate performance improvement in terms of BER and SNR. Further experiments are currently being conducted to demonstrate multipath mitigation, interference suppression, range extension and capacity enhancement.
