Análise de Modelos de Redes de Antenas Adaptativas para Sistemas WCDMA

Abstract

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.
