Description

Adding intelligence to an array antenna creates what is called a "smart antenna". This makes it possible to control the antenna beam, without moving the antenna mechanically. Clearly, this opens up a range of new possibilities. This theme meeting will successively focus on the principles of such antenna arrays, a practical elaboration of an antenna network, beamforming and an application
