This paper presents a performance analysis of several adaptive array antennas for WCDMA. This analysis verifies the behavior of the system capacity according to the number of elements of the antenna array and the quantity of fingers in the Rake receiver. Simulation results for pilot based, blind and semi-blind algorithms are compared. The study also shows that linear antenna arrays can achieve a higher capacity per sector than circular arrays.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
