Abstract
In this Chapter, smart antenna systems are briefly reviewed. With the fast growth of wireless communication in recent years, smart antennas attract much attention. Smart antennas have the potential to improve system performance in terms of capacity, coverage and quality of service. Accurate and computationally efficient estimations of direction-of-arrival are critical factors in designing a smart antenna system. The weighting vectors obtained by adaptive algorithms can be used to synthesize desired pattern. Applications of smart antenna systems including wideband arrays and position location techniques are also addressed.
