Abstract :
In wireless communications, the smart antenna systems (or antenna arrays) can be used to suppress multipath fading effects with antenna diversity and to increase system capacity by supporting multiple co-channel users in reception and transmission. This paper presents experimental results of diversity gain and mitigation of multipath fading obtained by using a smart antenna system in typical wireless scenarios
