  Abstract

The performance variations of a spatio temporal smart antenna which is equipped at the basestation of CDMA cellular communication network due to the parametric change of multipath fading environment are studied in this paper. The smart antenna of interest employs space diversity based adaptive array structure in conjunction with rake receiver that has fingers the number of which is the same as that of multipath links. The beamforming is achieved via LMS(Least Mean Square) algorithm in which a reference signal is generated using decision directed formula. It has been shown by computer simulation that the performance of our smart antenna of interest depends significantly upon not only the degree of desired signal's DOA(Direction of Arrival)spread but the number of fingers of the rake receiver. The relative insensitivity of the smart antenna's performance on desired signal's delay spread has also been observed. Computer simulation has shown that the increase of the number of fingers brings in a nonlinear enhancement of the performance of our smart antenna. The renewal of weight vector in the beamforming procedure is taken place at post PN despread stage.
