Abstract

For the access of innovative and upgraded facilities, cellular and smartphone technology have evolved exponentially at an unprecedented and daunting pace during the last decade. This can be accomplished using multiple-input multiple-output and smart antenna technologies. One of the main quickly evolving areas of connectivity is the smart antenna technology, which allows achieving greater exposure by growing signal intensity only in the chosen direction. In this chapter, numerous beamforming techniques and beamforming algorithms for smart antennas are examined. The distinction is made with various beam-sha** algorithms with the spectrum parameters of the antenna.
