Background technique
Traditional antenna for base station size is larger, narrower bandwidth, and mode is single, is limited to its feeding classification and volume size,
Its application range suffers restraints.
With the fast development of mobile communication and the rapid growth of mobile subscriber, smart antenna has been widely regarded as improving
The key technology of communication quality and the availability of frequency spectrum.Intelligent antenna array can produce spatial orientation wave beam, and can be adaptive
Radio signal is directed to user direction by ground, and secondary lobe and zero point are directed toward other possible interference signals.Mobile communication system
Often require that smart antenna switches between omni-directional mode and directional pattern for different User Status.When base station can not determine
When user location, aerial array is worked in an omni directional pattern to obtain broader overlay area.After confirming user location, antenna
Array is switched to directional pattern and by beam position user.Therefore, antenna for base station needs 360 ° of azimuth beam scan capability.
